1N8164US Overview
Description
This series of voidless-hermetically-sealed unidirectional low-capacitance Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) designs are ideal for protecting higher frequency applications in high-reliability applications where a failure cannot be tolerated. They include a unique rectifier diode in series and opposite direction from the TVS to achieve a very low capacitance of 4 pF.
Key Features
- High surge current and peak pulse power unidirectional protection for sensitive circuits
- Very low capacitance for high frequency or high baud rate applications
- Bidirectional capability with two devices in anti-parallel (see Figure 5)
- Triple-layer passivation
- Internal “Category 1” metallurgical bonds
- Voidless hermetically sealed glass package
- RoHS compliant versions are available. Also available in: “A” Package (axial-leaded) 1N8149 – 1N8182
