Bourns Power Transient Voltage Suppressor Diodes
Bourns Power Transient Voltage Suppressor (PTVS) Diodes are designed to protect sensitive electronic components from high-energy, high-voltage, and high-current transients. These diodes provide effective voltage clamping and protection against power line transients, voltage spikes, motor arcing, and nearby lightning strikes. The PTVS diodes offer peak surge current ratings from 1kA to 20kA and operating voltages from 15V to 470V, with axial lead and surface-mount packages available. Typical applications include AC line protection, energy storage systems, high-power DC bus protection, industrial automation, and robust lightning protection.
