Manufacturer

Vishay Semiconductor Diodes

Introduction

Transient Voltage Suppressor, part of the TransZorb® Series, designed for voltage spike and surge protection.

Product Features and Performance

Unidirectional channel for protecting one signal or power line

Standoff voltage of 5V suitable for low voltage applications

Breakdown voltage minimum of 6.4V ensuring protection activation just above operating voltage

Clamping voltage of 13.4V at the specified current ensures limited voltage exposure during spikes

Peak pulse current of 298A (8/20µs) allows for handling of substantial surge events

High power peak pulse capability at 4000W (4kW) aids in robust surge protection

Suitable for high-temperature operations ranging from -55°C to 150°C

Product Advantages

The TransZorb® series offers reliable performance under surge conditions.

High power rating ensures durability against large pulse events.

Compact DO-214AC (SMA) package suitable for high-density board applications.
