2015-11-18 | Return

Riverside, California - November 18, 2015 - Bourns is pleased to announce the release of a 15 V bidirectional high current Power TVS Diode, extending the existing range of the PTVS3 series. This model was designed for use in high power DC bus clamping applications.

The Bourns® Model PTVS3 series offers bidirectional port protection meeting IEC 61000-4-5 8/20 µs current surge requirements and is RoHS compliant* and halogen free**. When compared to typical competing MOV technology, the use of silicon technology in the Power TVS products provides a lower clamping voltage under surge, greater performance stability and increased reliability.

These devices exhibit an excellent surge response versus temperature; the maximum surge current at 150 °C exceeds 70 % of their rated value at 25 °C.

Model	Standoﬀ Voltage	Peak Pulse Current Rating (IPPM)	Package Type
PTVS3-015C-TH	15 V	3 kA	Through-hole
