15,000 W TRANSIENT VOLTAGE
SUPPRESSOR
SCOTTSDALE DIVISION
DESCRIPTION
These Microsemi 15 kW Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVSs) are
designed for applications requiring protection of voltage-sensitive electronic
devices that may be damaged by harsh or severe voltage transients
including lightning per IEC61000-4-5 and class levels with various source
impedances described herein. This series is available in 17 to 280 volt
standoff voltages (V
WM
) in both unidirectional and bi-directional offered in
two different package designs for axial and radial configurations.
Microsemi also offers numerous other TVS products to meet higher or
lower power demands and special applications.
