DESCRIPTION APPEARANCE
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
classes with various source impedances described herein. This
series is available in 5.0 to 400 volt standoff voltages (VWM) in both
unidirectional and bidirectional offered in one surface mount
device. Microsemi also offers numerous other TVS products to
meet higher and lower power demands and special applications.
IMPORTANT: For the most current data, consult MICROSEMI’s website: http://www.microsemi.com
FEATURES APPLIC ATIONS / BENEFITS
• Available in both Unidirectional and Bidirectional
construction (Bidirectional with C or CA suffix)
• Low profile surface mount
• Available in tape-and-reel or waffle pack
• Selections for 5.0 to 400 volts standoff voltages (VWM)
• Suppresses transients up to 15,000 watts @ 10/1000 µs
(see Figure 1)
• Fast response
• Optional 100% screening for avionics grade is
available by adding MA prefix to part number for added
100% temperature cycle -55oC to +125oC (10X) as well
as surge (3X) and 24 hours HTRB with post test VZ &
IR (in the operating direction for unidirectional or both
directions for bidirectional)
• Options for screening in accordance with MIL-PRF-
19500 for JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV are also available
by adding MQ, MX, or MV prefixes respectively to part
numbers.

junction to ambient when mounted on FR4 PC board with
recommended mounting pad (see last page)
• Steady-State Power dissipation: 50 watts at TC = 100oC
with good heat sink, or 2.5 watts at TA = 25ºC if mounted on
FR4 PC board as described for thermal resistance
