Fairchild Semiconductor SA5V0(C)A-SA170(C)A Transient Voltage Suppressors Datasheet
The document provides a comprehensive technical overview of the SA5V0(C)A through SA170(C)A Transient Voltage Suppressors. Key features include glass passivated junctions, a peak pulse power capability of 500W on a 10/1000 µs waveform, and fast response times typically less than 1.0 ps for unidirectional devices.
The datasheet lists absolute maximum ratings such as non-repetitive peak forward surge current (70A) and operating junction temperature (+175°C). It includes detailed tables of electrical characteristics covering stand-off voltage, clamping voltage, and leakage current for various voltage ratings from 5.0V to 170V.
