DESCRIPTION APPEARANCE
This series of industry recognized voidless-hermetically-sealed Bidirectional Transient
Voltage Suppressor (T VS) designs is military qua lified to MIL-PRF-19500/516 and are
ideal for high-relia bility applications where a failur e cannot be tolerated. They prov ide
a Working Peak “Standoff” Voltage selection from 5.2 to 152 Volts with two package
sizes for 500 W and 1500 W ratings. They are very robust in hard-glass construction
and also use an internal metallurgical bond identified as Category I for high reliability
applications. Both of these are also military qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/516. These
devices are availa ble as both a n on-suffix part and an “A” suffix part involv ing different
voltage tolerances as further described in note 4 on page 2. These devices are also
available in a s urface mount MELF packag e configurati on by addi ng a “US” suffix (se e
separate data sheet for 1N6103US thru 1N6173AUS). Microsemi also offers
numerous other TVS products to meet high er and lower peak pulse po wer and voltage
ratings in both through-hole and surface-mount packages.
