impedance and fast response time. The SA5.0A series is supplied in

ON Semiconductor’s exclusive, cost-effective, highly reliable

Surmetict axial leaded package and is ideally-suited for use in

communication systems, numerical controls, process controls,

medical equipment, business machines, power supplies and many

other industrial/consumer applications.

UL RECOGNITION*

The entire series including the bidirectional CA suffix has

Underwriters Laboratory Recognition for the classification

of protectors (QVGQ2) under the UL standard for safety

497B and File #E210057. Many competitors only have one

or two devices recognized or have recognition in a

non-protective category. Some competitors have no

recognition at all. With the UL497B recognition, our parts

successfully passed several tests including Strike Voltage

Breakdown test, Endurance Conditioning, Temperature test,

Dielectric Voltage-Withstand test, Discharge test and

several more.

Whereas, some competitors have only passed a

flammability test for the package material, we have been

recognized for much more to be included in their protector

category.
