Transient protection for harsh environments
It clamps a 12.2 V nominal rail to 23.42 V max during a surge, shunting up to 21.28 A of peak pulse current. The -55°C to 175°C junction temperature range suits it for military, avionics, and downhole applications where commercial TVS diodes would derate or fail.
Clamping voltage and breakdown window
Reverse standoff voltage is 12.2 V; the device starts to break down at 14.44 V min and clamps at 23.42 V max at the rated peak pulse current. This window means the protected rail sees no more than 23.42 V during a transient, which is compatible with 15 V and 24 V tolerant inputs. Bidirectional configuration (single channel) protects both polarities with one device, saving board space and reducing part count on bipolar signal lines or AC-coupled interfaces.
Active production — no LTB pressure
through-hole axial package (B, Axial). The axial lead form factor is compatible with through-hole PCB assembly and point-to-point wiring in high-reliability modules.
