DESCRIPTION

This hermetically sealed Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) product family includes a rectifier diode element in series and opposite direction to achieve low capacitance performance below 100 pF (see Figure 2). The low level of TVS capacitance may be used for protecting higher frequency applications in inductive switching environments or electrical systems involving secondary lightning effects per IEC61000-4-5 as well as RTCA/DO-160D or ARINC 429 for airborne avionics. With virtually instantaneous response, they also protect from ESD and EFT per IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4.

FEATURES

? Unidirectional low-capacitance TVS series for flexible

thru-hole mounting (for bidirectional see Figure 4)

? Suppresses transients up to 1500 watts @ 10/1000 μs

(see Figure 1)*

? Clamps transient in less than 100 pico seconds

? Working voltage (VWM) range 6.5 V to 170 V

? Hermetic sealed DO-13 metal package

19500 for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS are also

available by adding MQ, MX, MV, MSP prefixes

respectively to part numbers, e.g. MXLC6.5A, etc.

? Surface mount equivalent packages also available as

SMCJLCE6.5 - SMCJLCE170A or SMCGLCE6.5 -

SMCGLCE170A in separate data sheet (consult factory
