GENERAL DESCRIPTION
BENEFITS
TE Circuit Protection
PolyZen devices are
polymer enhanced,
precision Zener diode
micro-assemblies.
They offer resettable
protection against
multi-Watt fault
events without the
need for multi-Watt
heat sinks.
The Zener diode
used for voltage clamping in a PolyZen micro-assembly was
selected due to its relatively flat voltage vs current response.
This helps improve output voltage clamping, even when input
voltage is high and diode currents are large.
An advanced feature of the PolyZen micro-assembly is that the
Zener diode is thermally coupled to a resistively non-linear,
polymer PTC (positive temperature coefficient) layer. This PTC
layer is fully integrated into the device, and is electrically in
series between VIN and the diode clamped VOUT.
This advanced PTC layer responds to either extended diode
heating or overcurrent events by transitioning from a low to high
resistance state, also known as ”tripping”. A tripped PTC will
limit current and generate voltage drop. It helps to protect both
the Zener diode and the follow-on electronics and effectively
increases the diode’s power handling capability.
The polymer enhanced Zener diode helps protect sensitive
portable electronics from damage caused by inductive voltage
spikes, voltage transients, incorrect power supplies and reverse
bias. These devices are particularly suitable for portable
electronics and other low-power DC devices.

Stable Zener diode helps shield downstream
electronics from overvoltage and reverse bias

Trip events shut out overvoltage and reverse bias
sources

Analog nature of trip events minimizes upstream
inductive spikes

Electrical characteristics determined at 25ºC unless otherwise specified.
This device is intended for limited fault protection. Repeated trip events or extended trip endurance can degrade the device and
may affect performance to specifications. Performance impact will depend on multiple factors including, but not limited to,
voltage, trip current, trip duration, trip cycles, and circuit design. For details or ratings specific to your application contact TE
Connectivity Circuit Protection Division directly.
Note 3: Specifications developed using 1.0 ounce 0.045” wide copper traces on dedicated FR4 test boards. Performance in your
application may vary.
Note 4: Izt is the current at which Vz is measured (VZ = VOUT). Additional VZ values are available on request.
Note 5: IHOLD: Maximum steady state IPTC (current entering or exiting the VIN pin of the device) that will not generate a trip event at the
specified temperature. Specification assumes IFLT (current flowing through the Zener diode) is sufficiently low so as to prevent
the diode from acting as a heat source. Testing is conducted with an “open” Zener.
Note 6: R Typ: Resistance between VIN and VOUT pins during normal operation at room temperature.
Note 7: R1Max: The maximum resistance between VIN and VOUT pins at room temperature, one hour after first tripped event or after
reflow soldering.
Note 8: VINT Max: VINT Max is defined as the voltage at which typical qualification devices (98% devices, 95% confidence) survived at
least 100 trip cycles and 24 hours trip endurance at the specified voltage and current (IPTC). VINT Max testing is conducted using
a "shorted" load (VOUT = 0 V). VINT Max is a survivability rating, not a performance rating. For performance ratings, see Note 2.
Note 9: IFLT Max: Maximum RMS fault current the diode portion of the device can withstand and remain resettable. Specification is
dependent on the direction of current flow through the diode. RMS fault currents above IFLT Max may permanently damage the
PolyZen device. Specification assumes IOUT = 0. Testing conducted with no load connected to VOUT.
Note 10: The power dissipated by the device when in the “tripped” state, as measured on TE test boards (see note 3).
Note 11: Specifications based on limited qualification data and subject to change.
