130V bidirectional TVS — selection anchor
Bidirectional channels mean the clamping characteristic is symmetrical, so it suits AC signal lines or bipolar supplies where the transient can swing positive or negative.
500W peak pulse power — surge capability
Rated at 500W peak pulse power for a 10/1000µs waveform, the device can absorb a 2.2A peak pulse current before the clamping voltage reaches 231V. For a procurement buyer comparing TVS parts, the 500W rating is the headline surge energy the part can handle — if the expected transient exceeds this, a higher-power package (e.g., 600W or 1500W in the same DO-214AC footprint) would be needed.
Active production — supply posture
For BOM stability, this active status removes the urgency of a last-time-buy — but the buyer should still confirm lead time and pricing at quote time, as availability can shift with demand.
The wide range means the clamping voltage and leakage current will shift with temperature — the datasheet's derating curve should be consulted for sustained high-temperature operation. The part is surface-mount, so board-level thermal management (copper pad area under the cathode tab) directly affects junction temperature rise during a transient event.
