0.375" (9.5mm) lead length, 5lbs. (2.3 kg) tension
Polarity:
For unidirectional types the color band denotes
the cathode, which is positive with respect to the anode
under normal TVS operation
Mounting Position:
Any
Weight:
0.012 oz., 0.3 g
Packaging Codes – Options (Antistatic):
51 – 1K per Bulk box, 10K/carton
