Small TVS Diodes Dissipate High Levels Of Power

Providing high-power dissipation capabilities above 1.5 kW in small envelopes, these new transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes are available in DO-214AA (SMB) and axial-lead packages. The SMB components come with power ratings of 500W, 600W and 1 kW with breakdown voltages from 5V to 185V. With breakdown voltages from 5V to 440V, the axial-lead diodes offer power ratings of 500W, 600W and 1.5 kW. Both packages are available in bi- and uni-directional protection configurations and exhibit low clamping ratios. LITTELFUSE INC., Des Plaines, IL. (800) 999-9445.
