DEVICES FOR BIDIRECTION APPLICATIONS

For bidirectional types, use CA suffix (e.g. SA5.0CA,

SA170CA).

Electrical characteristics apply in both directions.

FEATURES

• Glass passivated chip junction

• Available in unidirectional and bidirectional

• 500 W peak pulse power capability with a

10/1000 μs waveform, repetitive rate (duty cycle): 0.01 %

• Excellent clamping capability

• Very fast response time

• Low incremental surge resistance

• Solder dip 275 °C max. 10 s, per JESD 22-B106

• AEC-Q101 qualified

• Material categorization: for definitions of compliance

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Use in sensitive electronics protection against voltage

transients induced by inductive load switching and lighting

on ICs, MOSFET, signal lines of sensor units for consumer,

computer, industrial, and telecommunication.
