Preferred Device
1500 Watt Mosorbt Zener
Transient Voltage Suppressors
Unidirectional*
Mosorb devices are designed to protect voltage sensitive
components from high voltage, high-energy transients. They have
excellent clamping capability, high surge capability, low zener
impedance and fast response time. These devices are
ONSemiconductor's exclusive, cost‐effective, highly reliable
Surmetic axial leaded package and are ideally‐suited for use in
communication systems, numerical controls, process controls,
medical equipment, business machines, power supplies and many
other industrial/consumer applications, to protect CMOS, MOS and
Bipolar integrated circuits.
Features
•Working Peak Reverse Voltage Range - 5.0 V
•Peak Power - 1500 Watts @ 1 ms
•Maximum Clamp Voltage @ Peak Pulse Current
•Low Leakage < 5 mA Above 10 V
•Response Time is Typically < 1 ns
•These are Pb-Free Devices*
