APPEARANCE
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).

NOTE 1: A TVS is normally selected according to the rated “Standoff Voltage” VWM that should be equal to or greater than the dc or
continuous peak operating voltage level.
NOTE 2: Also available in military qualified types with a JAN, JANTX, or JANTXV prefix.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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
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))
Peak Pulse Current: The peak current during the impulse (See Figure 2)
Peak Pulse Power: The pulse power as determined by the product of VC and IPP
Standby Current: The current at the standoff voltage (VWM)
Breakdown Current: The current used for measuring Breakdown Voltage (V(BR))
