The 1N61xx series of transient voltage suppressors are designed to protect military and commercial electronic equipment from overvoltages caused by lightning, ESD, EFT, inductive load switching, and EMP. These devices are constructed using two p-n junction TVS diodes in a back-toback configuration, hermetically sealed in a voidless glass package. The hermetically sealed package provides high reliability in harsh environmental conditions. TVS diodes are further characterized by their high surge capability, low operating and clamping voltages, and a theoretically instantaneous response time. This makes them ideal for use as board level protection for sensitive semiconductor components.
