Bidirectional*
The SA5.0CA series is designed to protect voltage sensitive
components from high voltage, high−energy transients. They have
excellent clamping capability, high surge capability, low zener
impedance and fast response time. The SA5.0CA series is supplied in
ON Semiconductor’s exclusive, cost-effective, highly reliable
Surmetict axial leaded package and is ideally-suited for use in
communication systems, numerical controls, process controls,
medical equipment, business machines, power supplies and many
other industrial/consumer applications.
Specification Features:
• Working Peak Reverse Voltage Range − 5.0 to 170 V
• Peak Power − 500 Watts @ 1 ms
• ESD Rating of Class 3 (>16 KV) per Human Body Model
• Maximum Clamp Voltage @ Peak Pulse Current
• Low Leakage < 1 mA above 8.5 V
• UL 497B for Isolated Loop Circuit Protection
• Maximum Temperature Coefficient Specified
• Response Time is typically < 1 ns
