February 26, 2014 - Bourns announced PTVS6-058C-TH and PTVS6-076C-TH high power TVS diodes for use in DC bus protection applications. The diodes deliver high current bidirectional port protection that meets IEC 61000-4-5 8/20 µs current surge requirements and are RoHS* compliant.
The TVS diodes provide enhanced temperature performance for greater system stability and increased reliability. Designed using advanced silicon technology, the devices offer lower clamping voltage under surge compared to Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) technology. In testing, the models have exhibited an excellent surge response versus temperature; the typical maximum surge current at 150 °C 75 % of their rated value at 25 °C. Both models provide very high surge current protection with a peak pulse current rating of 6 kA. The Model PTVS6-058C-TH features a 58 V standoff voltage and the PTVS6-076C-TH has a 76 V standoff voltage. PTVS6-058C-TH and PTVS6-076C-TH are priced at $13.78 each in 10 piece quantities and $12.60 each in 500 piece quantities, respectively. Both models are available now.
