Breakover diodes
BR211SM series
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A range of bidirectional, breakover
diodes in a two terminal, surface
mounting, plastic envelope. These
devices feature controlled breakover
voltage and high holding current
together with high peak current
handling
capability.
Typical
application is transient overvoltage
protection in telecommunications
equipment.
