Bourns 240 V/1 kA bidirectional power TVS diode
Summary
The Bourns Model PTVS1-240C-M PTVS Diode is designed with advanced silicon processing technology that yields exceptionally high voltage-handling capabilities, and along with the diode’s surface mount packaging, differentiates this transient voltage protector into a league of its own. Offering 1 kA surge handling capability under 8/20 µs test conditions, the Bourns Model PTVS1-240C-M is ideally suited for a broad variety of systems that employ high-voltage DC bus architectures. These systems commonly experience high current switching transients and dynamic load behaviours where snubbing is needed or protection of bus-powered subsystems is required. The surface mount package offers a significant reduced PCB footprint and lower inductance design advantages compared to traditional through-hole mounted Power TVS Diodes. Applications that can benefit from the features and capabilities of the Model PTVS1-240C-M include industrial power systems, motor controllers and inverters, solar inverters, battery energy storage systems, and factory automation.
