DESCRIPTION
PACKAGE
This AVSMBJ5.0A-170A or AVSMBG5.0A-170A series of surface mount 600 W Transient
Voltage Suppressors (TVSs) protects a variety of voltage-sensitive components from
destruction or degradation. It is available in J-bend design (AVSMBJ) with the DO-214AA
package for greater PC board mounting density or in a Gull-wing design (AVSMBG) in the
DO-215AA for visible solder connections.
It is available in both unidirectional and
bidirectional configurations with an A or CA suffix part number as well as RoHS Compliant
designated by an “e3”suffix. Their clamping response time is virtually instantaneous. As a
result, they can be used for protection from ESD or EFT per IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-
4-4, or for inductive switching environments and induced RF protection. They can also
protect from secondary lightning effects per IEC61000-4-5 and class levels defined herein.
Microsemi also offers numerous other TVS products to meet higher and lower power
demands and special applications.
