PEAK PULSE POWER : 5000 W (10/1000µs)
STAND-OFF VOLTAGE RANGE :
From 10V to 180V
UNI AND BIDIRECTIONAL TYPES
LOW CLAMPING FACTOR
FAST RESPONSE TIME
UL RECOGNIZED
DESCRIPTION
Transil diodes provide high overvoltage protection
by clamping action. Their instantaneous response
to transient overvoltages makes them particu-
larly suited to protect voltage sensitive devices
such as MOS Technology and low voltage sup-
plied IC’s.

Note :
The curves of the figure 3 are specified for a junction temperature of 25°C before surge.
The given results may be extrapolated for other junction temperatures by using the following formula :
