M15KP22A – M15KP280CA(e3)

Available

15,000 Watt Transient Voltage Suppressor

(TVS) Protection Device

Screening in

reference to

MIL-PRF-19500

available

DESCRIPTION

This Transient Voltage Suppressor series of M15KP22A – M15KP280CA offers an extended

voltage range and also provides a variety of high reliability, uni- and bi-directional options as

well. RoHS compliant versions are also available. These devices have the ability to clamp

dangerous high voltage transients such as secondary effects of lightning strikes, providing

circuit protection to several class levels in the IEC61000-4-5 specification. Clamping time is

virtually instantaneous. It also provides protection from transients caused by inductive load

dumps, RFI, and ESD, providing protection to IEC61000-4-2 and -4-4.
