DESCRIPTION
These small axial-leaded TVS devices feature the ability to clamp dangerous high voltage short-term transients such as produced by directed or radiated electrostatic discharge phenomena before entering sensitive component regions of a circuit design. They are small economical transient voltage suppressors targeted primarily for short-term transients below a few microseconds while still achieving significant peak-pulse-power capability as illustrated in Figure #1.

FEATURES
• Excellent protection in clamping direct ESD level
   transients in excess of 15,000 V per MIL-STD-750,
   Method 1020 (approx. 150 ns exponential wave)
• Absorbs ESD level transients* of 1400 Watts per MIL
   STD-750, Method 1020 (approx. 150 ns exponential
   wave, or one microsecond transients up to 400 watts.
   See Figure #1 and #2 for overall transient Peak Pulse
   Power.
• Clamps Transients in less than 100 picoseconds
• Working Stand-off Voltage range of 5 V to 170 V
• Hermetic DO-35 Package. Also available in surface
   mount DO-213AA MELF package (see separate data
   sheet)
• RoHS Compliant devices available by adding “e3” suffix

APPLICATIONS / BENEFITS
• Protects Sensitive circuits from short duration fast
   rise time transients such as Electrostatic Discharge
   (ESD) or Electrical Fast Transients (EFT)
• Low inherent capacitance for high-frequency
   applications (See Figure #4)
• Flexible axial-lead mounting terminals
• Bidirectional features available by adding a “C” or
   “CA” suffix
