Breakover diodes
BRS212 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. Their intended
application is protection of line based
telecommunications
equipment
against voltage transients.
