DESCRIPTION
This unidirectional low voltage Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) device for the
1N5907 JEDEC registration has a high Peak Pulse Power rating of 1500 W with
extremely fast response times. The 1N5907 is available in a military qualified version
as described in the Features section herein. It’s most often used for protecting against
transients from inductive switching environments, induced RF effects, or induced
secondary lightning effects as found in surge levels of IEC61000-4-5 described herein.
It’s also very successful in protecting airborne avionics and electrical systems when
low voltage is required. Since their response time is virtually instantaneous, they can
also protect from ESD and EFT per IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4.
