1500 WATT LOW CLAMPING FACT OF TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SUPPRESSOR
DESCRIPTION
This Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) series for 1N6373 thru 1N6389 are JEDEC registered selections for both unidirectional and bidirectional devices. The 1N6373 thru 1N6381 are unidirectional and the 1N6382 thru 1N6389 are bi-directional where they all provide a very low specified clamping factor for minimal clamping voltages (VC) above their respective breakdown voltages (VBR) as specified herein. They are most often used in protecting sensitive components from inductive switching transients or induced secondary lightning effects as found in lower surge levels of IEC61000-4-5 . They are also very successful in protecting airborne avionics and electrical systems. Since their response time is virtually instantaneous, they can also protect from ESD and EFT per IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4.
FEATURES
• Unidirectional and bidirectional TVS series for thru-hole mounting
• Suppresses transients up to 1500 watts @ 10/1000 µs
• tclamping (0 volts to V(BR) min):
Unidirectional – Less than 100 pico seconds.
Bidirectional – Less than 5 nano seconds.
• Working voltage (VWM) range 5 V to 45 V
• Low clamping factor (ratio of actual VC/VBR): 1.33 @ full
rated power and 1.20 @ 50% rated power
• Economical plastic encapsulated TVS for thru-hole mount
• Options for screening in accordance with MIL-PRF-19500
for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS are also available
by adding MQ, MX, MV, MSP prefixes respectively to
part numbers, e.g. MX1N6373, etc.
• Surface mount equivalent packages also available as
SMCJ6373 – SMCJ6389 (consult factory for other
surface mount options)
• Metal package axial-leaded equivalents available in the
1N6373 – 1N6389 series (see separate data sheet)
