BZW04 series transient voltage suppressor is a new product launched by Schneider Electric. It has a surge capability of 400W and can suppress voltage to 6.8-440V in 1ms. The product has good clamping capability, low resistance, fast response time and low IR.
The BZW04 series transient voltage suppressor provides fast response and high surge capability in a compact DO‑41 molded‑plastic package. It features low zener impedance, excellent clamping, and can handle peak power dissipation of 400 W for 1 ms pulses.
Mechanical details include a UL94V‑0 flame‑retardant epoxy, axial leads of 0.375 in (9.5 mm) length, and a weight of 0.339 g. Electrical characteristics cover a wide voltage range from 6.45 V up to 440 V, with peak forward surge currents up to 400 A depending on the voltage rating.
