TRANSZORB® Transient Voltage Suppressors
FEATURES
• Glass passivated chip junction
• Available in uni-directional and bi-directional
• 1500 W peak pulse power capability with a
10/1000 µs waveform, repetitive rate (duty
cycle): 0.01 %
• Excellent clamping capability
• Very fast response time
• Low incremental surge resistance
• Solder dip 260 °C, 40 s
• Component in accordance to RoHS 2002/95/EC
and WEEE 2002/96/EC
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Use in sensitive electronics protection against voltage
transients induced by inductive load switching
and lighting on ICs, MOSFET, signal lines of sensor
units for consumer, computer, industrial and
telecommunication.
MECHANICAL DATA
Case: Molded epoxy body over passivated junction
Molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability
rating
Base P/N-E3 - RoHS compliant, commercial grade
Base P/NHE3 - RoHS compliant, high reliability/
automotive grade (AEC-Q101 qualified)
Terminals: Matte tin plated leads, solderable per
J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102
E3 suffix meets JESD 201 class 1A whisker test, HE3
suffix meets JESD 201 class 2 whisker test
Polarity: For uni-directional types the color band
denotes cathode end, no marking on bi-directional
types
DEVICES FOR BI-DIRECTION APPLICATIONS
For bi-directional types, use C suffix (e.g. ICTE-18C).
Electrical characteristics apply in both directions.
