POWER TVS PRODUCTS Bourns Releases New High Voltage Power TVS (PTVS) Products Model PTVS3-380C-TH and PTVS3-430C-TH Riverside, California - December 12, 2014 - Bourns is pleased to announce the release of Model PTVS3-380C-TH and PTVS3-430C-TH high voltage, bidirectional, high current TVS diodes designed for use in AC line and high power DC bus clamping applications. These devices offer bidirectional port protection of 380 volts and 430 volts, meeting IEC 61000-4-5 8/20 µs current surge requirements and are RoHS compliant*. When compared to typical competing MOV technology, the use of silicon technology in the Power TVS products provides a lower clamping voltage under surge, greater performance stability and increased reliability. These devices exhibit an excellent surge response versus temperature - the typical maximum surge current at 150 °C exceeds 70 % of their rated value at 25 °C.
