Multilayer construction and improved grain structure result in

excellent transient clamping characteristics in excess of 30

amps (20 amps on MG064L18X500) peak current while

maintaining very low leakage currents under DC operating

conditions. The VI curves below show the voltage/current

characteristics for the 5.6V, 9V, 14V and 18V parts with cur-

rents ranging from fractions of a micro amp to tens of amps.
