1N8149 – 1N8182
Voidless-Hermetically-Sealed Unidirectional 150 W
Low-Capacitance Transient Voltage Suppressors
DESCRIPTION
This series of voidless-hermetically-sealed unidirectional low-capacitance Transient Voltage Suppressor
(TVS) designs are ideal for protecting higher frequency applications in high-reliability applications where
a failure cannot be tolerated. They include a unique rectifier diode in series and opposite direction from
the TVS to achieve a very low capacitance of 4 pF. This product series provides a working peak
“standoff” voltage selection from 6.8 to 170 volts with 150 watt ratings. They are very robust in hard-
glass construction and also use an internal metallurgical bond identified as Category 1 for high reliability
applications. These devices are also available in axial leaded packages for thru-hole mounting.

SYMBOLS & DEFINITIONS
Definition
Temperature Coefficient of Breakdown Voltage: The change in breakdown voltage divided by the change in
temperature that caused it expressed in %/°C or mV/°C.
Breakdown Voltage: The voltage across the device at a specified current I
(BR)
in the breakdown region.
Working Standoff Voltage: The maximum-rated value of dc or repetitive peak positive cathode-to-anode voltage that
may be continuously applied over the standard operating temperature.
Standby Current: The current through the device at rated stand-off voltage.
Breakdown Current: The current used for measuring Breakdown Voltage V
(BR)
Peak Impulse Current: The maximum rated random recurring peak impulse current or nonrepetitive peak impulse
current that may be applied to a device. A random recurring or nonrepetitive transient current is usually due to an
external cause, and it is assumed that its effect will have completely disappeared before the next transient arrives.
Clamping Voltage: The voltage across the device in a region of low differential resistance during the application of an
impulse current (I
PP
) for a specified waveform.
Peak Pulse Power. The rated random recurring peak impulse power or rated nonrepetitive peak impulse power. The
impulse power is the maximum-rated value of the product of I
PP
and V
C
.
Total Capacitance: The total small signal capacitance between the diode terminals of a complete device.
Inverse Blocking Voltage: The maximum-rated value of dc or peak blocking voltage in the inverse direction.
Blocking Leakage Current: The current through the device at the rated inverse blocking voltage (V
WIB
).

SCHEMATIC APPLICATIONS
The TVS low capacitance device configuration described in this data sheet is shown in Figure 4 involving a TVS and a unique
diode in series and opposite direction. For bidirectional low capacitance TVS applications, use two (2) low capacitance TVS
devices as described in this data sheet in anti-parallel as shown in Figure 5. This will result in twice the capacitance of Figure 4
specified in this data sheet.
