DESCRIPTION APPEARANCE
This popular Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) series for 1N5629 thru
1N5665A are JEDEC registered selections for unidirectional devices. All
have the same high Peak Pulse Power rating of 1500 W with extremely fast
response times. They are also available in military qualified selections as
described in the Features section herein. They are most often used for
protecting against transients from inductive switching environments,
induced RF effects, or induced secondary lightning effects as found in
lower surge levels of IEC61000-4-5. They are also very successful in
protecting airborne avionics and electrical systems. Since their response
time is virtually instantaneous, they can also protect from ESD and EFT per
IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4.

(DO-202AA)

* TVS devices are not typically used for dc power dissipation and are instead operated at or less than their rated standoff voltage
(VWM) except for transients that briefly drive the device into avalanche breakdown (VBR to VC region).
