15KPA17Ae3 – 15KPA280CAe3
Compliant
15,000 Watt Transient Voltage Suppressor
(TVS) Protection Device
DESCRIPTION
This device clamps dangerous high-voltage short-term transients such as those produced by
the secondary effects of lightning strikes, providing circuit protection to several class levels in
the IEC61000-4-5 specification. Clamping time is virtually instantaneous. It also provides
protection from transients caused by inductive load dumps, induced RFI, and ESD, providing
protection to IEC61000-4-2 and -4-4.

SYMBOLS & DEFINITIONS
Definition
Temperature Coefficient of Breakdown Voltage: The change in breakdown voltage divided by the change in
temperature that caused it expressed in %/°C or mV/°C.
Working Standoff Voltage: The maximum-rated value of dc or repetitive peak positive cathode-to-anode voltage that
may be continuously applied over the standard operating temperature.
Peak Pulse Power. The rated random recurring peak impulse power or rated nonrepetitive peak impulse power. The
impulse power is the maximum-rated value of the product of I
PP
and V
C
.
Breakdown Voltage: The voltage across the device at a specified current I
(BR)
in the breakdown region.
Standby Current: The current through the device at rated stand-off voltage.
Peak Impulse Current: The maximum rated random recurring peak impulse current or nonrepetitive peak impulse
current that may be applied to a device. A random recurring or nonrepetitive transient current is usually due to an
external cause, and it is assumed that its effect will have completely disappeared before the next transient arrives.
Clamping Voltage: The voltage across the device in a region of low differential resistance during the application of an
impulse current (I
PP
) for a specified waveform.
