Bidirectional Transient Surge Suppressors (TO-202 Surgector)
These surgector devices are designed to protect telecommunication equipment, data links, alarm systems, power supplies and other sensitive electrical circuits from damage by switching transients, lightning strikes, load changes, commutation spikes and line crosses. Bidirectional surgector devices are constructed with a thyristor whose gate region contains a special diffused section which acts as a zener diode.
