DESCRIPTION
This Transient Voltage Suppressor series of M15KP22A M15KP280CA offers an extended
voltage range and also provides a variety of high reliability, uni- and bi-directional options as
well. RoHS compliant versions are also available. These devices have the ability to clamp
dangerous high voltage transients such as secondary effects of lightning strikes, providing
circuit protection to several class levels in the IEC61000-4-5 specification. Clamping time is
virtually instantaneous. It also provides protection from transients caused by inductive load
dumps, RFI, and ESD, providing protection to IEC61000-4-2 and -4-4.

SYMBOLS & DEFINITIONS
Symbol
Definition
V(BR)
Temperature Coefficient of Breakdown Voltage: The change in breakdown voltage divided by the change in
temperature that caused it expressed in %/°C or mV/°C.
I(BR)
Breakdown Current: The current used for measuring Breakdown Voltage V(BR).
ID
Standby Current: The current through the device at rated stand-off voltage.
IFSM
Surge Peak Forward Current: The forward current including all nonrepetitive transient currents but excluding all
repetitive transients (ref JESD282-B).
IPP
Peak Impulse Current: The maximum rated random recurring peak impulse current or nonrepetitive peak impulse
current that may be applied to a device. A random recurring or nonrepetitive transient current is usually due to an
external cause, and it is assumed that its effect will have completely disappeared before the next transient arrives.
PPP
Peak Pulse Power. The rated random recurring peak impulse power or rated nonrepetitive peak impulse power. The
impulse power is the maximum-rated value of the product of IPP and VC.
V(BR)
Breakdown Voltage: The voltage across the device at a specified current I(BR) in the breakdown region.
VC
Clamping Voltage: The voltage across the device in a region of low differential resistance during the application of an
impulse current (IPP) for a specified waveform.
VWM
Working Standoff Voltage: The maximum-rated value of dc or repetitive peak positive cathode-to-anode voltage that
may be continuously applied over the standard operating temperature.

1. Transient Voltage Suppressors are normally selected with reverse “stand-off voltage(VWM) which should be equal to or greater than the
dc or continuous peak operating voltage level.
