These 7.5 kW rated transient voltage suppressors (TVS) in a surface mount PLAD package are provided with design features to minimize thermal resistance and cumulative heating. These devices have the ability to clamp dangerous high voltage short term transients such as those produced by electrostatic discharge radiated RFI inductive load dumps and the secondary effects of lightning strikes before they reach sensitive component regions of a circuit. Typical applications include lightning and automotive load dump protection. They are particularly effective at meeting the multi-stroke lightning standard RTCA DO-160 section 22 for aircraft design. The all-metal bottom of this space-efficient low profile package provides a very low thermal impedance path for heat to escape to the mounting substrate keeping the junction temperature low. The PLAD7.5KP is offered with standoff voltages (Vwm) from 10 to 48 volts in either unidirectional or bidirectional versions.
