DESCRIPTION
This popular Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) series for 1N6036 thru
1N6072A are JEDEC registered selections for bidirectional devices. All have the
same high Peak Pulse Power rating of 1500 W with extremely fast response times.
They are also available in military qualified selections as described in the Features
section herein. They are most often used for protecting against transients from
inductive switching environments, induced RF effects, 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.
