DESCRIPTION

APPEARANCE

These Microsemi 30 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 class levels with various source impedances described

herein.

This series is available in 10 to 400 volt Standoff

Microsemi also offers numerous other TVS products to meet

higher or lower power demands and special applications.
