DESCRIPTION
This Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) series for 1N5555 thru 1N5558 are JEDEC
registered selections for unidirectional devices. All have the same high Peak Pulse
Power rating of 1500 W with extremely fast response times. They are also available in
military qualified selections as described in the Features section herein. They are most
often used for protecting against transients from inductive switching environments,
induced RF effects, or induced secondary lightning effects as found in lower surge levels
of IEC61000-4-5. They are also very successful in protecting airborne avionics and
electrical systems. Since their response time is virtually instantaneous, they can also
protect from ESD and EFT per IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4.

* TVS devices are not typically used for dc power dissipation and are instead operated at or less than their rated
standoff voltage
(VWM) except for transients that briefly drive the device into avalanche breakdown (VBR to VC region).

greater than the dc or continuous peak operating voltage level.

Definition
Standoff Voltage: Applied Reverse Voltage to assure a nonconductive condition. (See Note 1
above.)
Breakdown Voltage: This is the Breakdown Voltage the device will exhibit at 25oC
VC
Maximum Clamping Voltage: The maximum peak voltage appearing across the TVS when
subjected to the peak pulse current in a one millisecond time interval. The peak pulse voltage is the
combination of voltage rise due to both the series resistance and thermal rise and positive
temperature coefficient (αV(BR))
IPP
Peak Pulse Current: The peak current during the impulse (See Figure 2)
PPP
Peak Pulse Power: The pulse power as determined by the product of VC and IPP
ID
Standby Current: The current at the standoff voltage (VWM)
I(BR)
Breakdown Current: The current used for measuring Breakdown Voltage (V(BR))
