5KP5.0 − 5KP110CA, e3
DESCRIPTION APPEARANCE
These Microsemi 5 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 110 volt standoff voltages
(VWM) in both unidirectional and bidirectional offered in two different package
designs for axial and radial configurations. Microsemi also offers numerous
other TVS products to meet higher and lower power demands and special
applications.
