DescRiPtion
The 15KPA Series, are discrete 15,000 Watt, silicon transient voltage suppressors (TVS) designed for use in applications
where large voltage transients can permanently damage voltage sensitive components and equipment.
The 15KPA series is available in voltages ranging from 17V to 280V with 5 percent and 10 percent tolerances. Both
tolerances are referenced to the power supply output or operating voltage level. This series is compatiable with IEC
61000-4-5 (Surge) requirements.
