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.
