Application Notes
A 1500W (SMC) device is normally selected when the threat of transients is from lightning induced transients, conducted via external leads or I/O lines. It is also
used to protect against switching transients induced by large coils or industrial motors. Source impedance at component level in a system is usually high enough
to limit the current within the peak pulse current (I
PP
) rating of this series. In an overstress condition, the failure mode is a short circuit.
