Transient Voltage Suppressor
SCOTTSDALE DIVISION
DESCRIPTION
This AVSMBJ5.0A-170A or AVSMBG5.0A-170A series of surface mount 600 W Transient
Voltage Suppressors (TVSs) protects a variety of voltage-sensitive components from
destruction or degradation. It is available in J-bend design (AVSMBJ) with the DO-214AA
package for greater PC board mounting density or in a Gull-wing design (AVSMBG) in the
DO-215AA for visible solder connections.
It is available in both unidirectional and
bidirectional configurations with an A or CA suffix part number as well as RoHS Compliant
designated by an “e3”suffix. Their clamping response time is virtually instantaneous. As a
result, they can be used for protection from ESD or EFT per IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-
4-4, or for inductive switching environments and induced RF protection. They can also
protect from secondary lightning effects per IEC61000-4-5 and class levels defined herein.
Microsemi also offers numerous other TVS products to meet higher and lower power
demands and special applications.

“FOR OTHER VOLTAGES CONTACT THE FACTORY”
Bidirectional device types are indicated by a CA suffix after the part number. (e.g.: AVSMBG170CA).
Bidirectional capacitance is half that shown in figure 4 at zero volts.
Microsemi Corp’s AVSMB series (600 W) surface mountable packages are designed specifically for transient voltage suppression. The
wide leads assure a large surface contact for good heat dissipation, and a low resistance path for surge current flow to ground. These
high speed transient voltage suppressors can be used to effectively protect sensitive components such as integrated circuits and MOS
devices.
