Mechanical Data
Case: F126 molded plastic body over passivated
junction
1.220 (31)
1.024 (26)
Terminals: Solder plated axial leads, solderable per
MIL-STD-750, Method 2026
Polarity: For unidirectional types the color band
denotes the cathode, which is positive with respect
to the anode under normal TVS operation
Dimensions in inches and (millimeters)
Mounting Position: Any Weight: 0.015 oz., 0.4 g
Packaging Codes – Options (Antistatic):

Notes: (1) Non-repetitive current pulse, per Fig. 3 and derated above TA = 25°C per Fig. 2
Rating is 500W between 40V and 188V types. For a surge greater than the maximum values, the diode will short circuit.
