to MIL-PRF-19500
Available
500 Watt Low Capacitance
Transient Voltage Suppressors
DESCRIPTION
This family of MSAC5.0 through MSAC50A Transient Voltage Suppressors are high-reliability
controlled devices that offer thru-hole mounting. They feature unidirectional construction and
working standoff voltage (Vwm) selections from 5 to 50 volts. Microsemi also offers a great
variety of other Transient Voltage Suppressors to meet higher and lower power demands and
special applications.

Notes:
1. With impulse repetition rate (duty factor) of 0.01 % max. TVS devices are not typically used for dc
power dissipation and are instead operated ≤ V

(rated standoff voltage) except for transients that
briefly drive the device into avalanche breakdown (V

to V

region) of the TVS element. Also see

for further protection details in rated peak pulse power for unidirectional and

SYMBOLS & DEFINITIONS
Definition
Breakdown Current: The current used for measuring Breakdown Voltage V
(BR)
.
Standby Current: The current through the device at rated stand-off voltage.
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.
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
.
Breakdown Voltage: The voltage across the device at a specified current I
(BR)
in the breakdown region.
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.
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.

Note 1:
A Transient Voltage Suppressor is normally selected according to voltage (V
WM
), which should be equal to or greater than the dc or
continuous peak operating voltage level.
Test in TVS avalanche direction. Do not pulse in “forward” direction. See section for
Application Schematics
herein.
