DESCRIPTION APPEARANCE
These Microsemi 15 kW Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVSs)
are designed for applications requiring protection of voltage-
sensitive electronic devices that may be damaged by harsh or
severe voltage transients including lightning per IEC61000-4-5 and
classes with various source impedances described herein. This
series is available in 5.0 to 400 volt standoff voltages (VWM) in both
unidirectional and bidirectional offered in one surface mount
device. Microsemi also offers numerous other TVS products to
meet higher and lower power demands and special applications.
IMPORTANT: For the most current data, consult MICROSEMI’s website: http://www.microsemi.com
