Voltage-Range Extensions to Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Families
The Key Benefits:
• Extend the available voltage range from a maximum of 440 V for
the axial series and from a maximum of 220 V for the surface-mount series
to an industry-high maximum of 540 V
• Employ a patent-pending design that yields improved surge capability,
lower leakage currents, and improved voltage clamping for high-voltage
applications
• Enhances performance in a single chip, allowing designers to lower
costs and reduce board space by implementing one device, rather than two,
for high-voltage protection
• Available in the same packaging as previous TVS devices, simplifying
substitution with these higher-voltage devices
The Key Applications: Transient voltage protection for high-intensity
discharge (HID) lighting and lighting ballast applications
Vishay Adds to Transient Voltage Suppressor Families With Industry's
Such First Single-Chip Devices Rated for up to 540 V
The News: Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) announces new
devices in its transient voltage suppressor families, releasing the industry's
first such single-chip devices rated for breakdown voltages up to 540
V.
• Increase the available maximum breakdown voltage from 440 V to
540 V in Vishay's P4KE, P6KE, and 1.5KE480 axial-leaded TVS families
• Increase the available maximum breakdown voltage from 220 V to
540 V in the surface-mount P4SMA, P6SMB, and 1.5SMC families
