Voltage-Range Extensions to Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Families

The Key Benefits:
• Extend the available voltage range from a maximum of 440 V for the axial series and from a maximum of 220 V for the surface-mount series to an industry-high maximum of 540 V
• Employ a patent-pending design that yields improved surge capability, lower leakage currents, and improved voltage clamping for high-voltage applications
• Enhances performance in a single chip, allowing designers to lower costs and reduce board space by implementing one device, rather than two, for high-voltage protection
• Available in the same packaging as previous TVS devices, simplifying substitution with these higher-voltage devices

The Key Applications: Transient voltage protection for high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting and lighting ballast applications

Vishay Adds to Transient Voltage Suppressor Families With Industry's Such First Single-Chip Devices Rated for up to 540 V

The News: Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) announces new devices in its transient voltage suppressor families, releasing the industry's first such single-chip devices rated for breakdown voltages up to 540 V.

• Increase the available maximum breakdown voltage from 440 V to 540 V in Vishay's P4KE, P6KE, and 1.5KE480 axial-leaded TVS families
• Increase the available maximum breakdown voltage from 220 V to 540 V in the surface-mount P4SMA, P6SMB, and 1.5SMC families

The Perspective: As the industry's first such single-chip devices rated for breakdown voltages up to 540 V, new additions to transient voltage suppressor families from Vishay Semiconductors provide enhanced performance in a single chip, allowing designers to lower costs and reduce board space by implementing one device, rather than two, for high-voltage protection in high-intensity discharge lighting and lighting ballast applications.

Availability: Samples and production quantities of the new TVS devices are available now, with a lead time of eight weeks for larger orders.
