NSA5.0AFT3G

400 Watt Peak Power ZenerTransient VoltageSuppressor

Unidirectional

The NSA5.0AFT3G is designed to protect voltage sensitivecomponents from high voltage, high energy transients. It hasexcellent clamping capability, high surge capability, low zenerimpedance and a fast response time. The NSA5.0AFT3G is ideallysuited for use in communication systems, automotive, numericalcontrols, process controls, medical equipment, business machines,power supplies and many other industrial/consumer applications.

Features

• Peak Power − 400 W @ 1 ms

• ESD Rating of Class 3 (> 16 kV) per Human Body Model

• ESD Rating IEC 61000−4−2 (> 30 kV)

• Response Time is Typically < 1 ns

• Flat Handling Surface for Accurate Placement

• Package Design for Top Slide or Bottom Circuit Board Mounting

• Low Profile Package

• This is a Pb−Free Device
