HIGH CURRENT THRU-HOLE DISCRETE TVS DIODE
15,000 WATTS
DESCRIPTION
The 15KP A family is a series of discrete 15,000
Watt, silicon transient voltage suppressor
diodes designed for use in applications where
large voltage transients can permanently
damage voltage sensitive components and
equipment.
The 15KPA series has a peak pulse power
(PPP) rating of 15,000 Watts for an 10/1000
µs waveshape. This series is available in
voltages ranging from 17.0 V olts to 280 Volts
with 5 percent and 10 percent tolerances.
Both tolerances are referenced to the power
supply output or operating voltage level.
