DEVICES M1.5KE6.8A thru M1.5KE400CA, e3
High reliability controlled devices with wafer fabrication and assembly lot traceability
100 % surge tested devices
Suppresses transients up to 1500 watts @ 10/1000 µs
Optional upscreening available by replacing the M prefix with MA, MX or MXL. These prefixes specify
various screening and conformance inspection options based on MIL-PRF-19500. Refer to MicroNote
129 for more details on the screening options.
Surface mount equivalent packages are available as MSMC(G)(J)5.0A - SMC(G)(J)170CA
