DESCRIPTION
APPEARANCE
These Microsemi 15 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 generally available in 22 to
280 volt standoff voltages (VWM) in both unidirectional and bi-directional
offered in two different package designs for axial and radial configurations.
Consult factory for availability of the 17 and 18 Volt devices on a special
order basis. Microsemi also offers numerous other TVS products to meet
higher or lower power demands and special applications.

FEATURES
APPLICATIONS / BENEFITS
Available in both Unidirectional and Bidirectional
construction (Bidirectional with C or CA suffix)
Available in both axial-leaded and radial packages
(include R prefix in part number for radial package option
shown in figure as “case 5R,” e.g. R15KP22A)
Selections for 22 to 280 volt standoff voltages (VWM)
Suppresses transients up to 15 kW @ 10/1000 s and
100 kW @ 8/20 s (see Figure 1)
Optional 100% screening for avionics grade is available
by adding MA prefix to part number for added 100%
temperature cycle -55
oC to +125oC (10X) as well as surge
(3X) and 24 hours HTRB with post test VBR & ID (in the
operating direction for unidirectional or both directions for
bidirectional)
Options for screening in accordance with MIL-PRF-19500
for JANTX are available by adding MX prefix respectively
to the part numbers.
Moisture classification is Level 1 with no dry pack required
per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B
RoHS Compliant devices available by adding “e3” suffix
