					DESCRIPTION  
					APPEARANCE  
					These Microsemi 15 kW Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVSs) are  
					designed for applications requiring protection of voltage-sensitive electronic  
					devices that may be damaged by harsh or severe voltage transients  
					including lightning per IEC61000-4-5 and class levels with various source  
					impedances described herein. This series is generally available in 22 to  
					280 volt standoff voltages (VWM) in both unidirectional and bi-directional  
					offered in two different package designs for axial and radial configurations.  
					Consult factory for availability of the 17 and 18 Volt devices on a special  
					order basis. Microsemi also offers numerous other TVS products to meet  
					CASE 5A  
					(DO-204AR)  
					CASE 5R  
					higher or lower power demands and special applications.  
					IMPORTANT: For the most current data, consult MICROSEMI’s website: http://www.microsemi.com
