PACKAGE DIMENSIONS

NOTES:

1. Dimensions are in inches.

2. Millimeter equivalents are given for information only.

3. The major diameter is essentially constant along its length.

4. In accordance with ASME Y14.5M, diameters are equivalent to

Φx

symbology.

APPLICATION SCHEMATICS

The TVS low capacitance device configuration is shown in figure 2. As a further option for unidirectional applications, an additional

low capacitance rectifier diode may be used in parallel in the same polarity direction as the TVS as shown in figure 3. In

applications where random high voltage transients occur, this will prevent reverse transients from damaging the internal low

capacitance rectifier diode and also provide a low voltage conducting direction. The added rectifier diode should be of similar low

rectifier part number is the “ELCR80” for the application in figure 3. If using two (2) low capacitance TVS devices in anti-parallel for

bidirectional applications, this added protective feature for both directions (including the reverse of each rectifier diode) is also

provided. The unidirectional and bidirectional configurations in figure 3 and 4 will both result in twice the capacitance of figure 2.
