Features

• Glass passivated junction.

• 500W Peak Pulse Power capability on

10/1000

µs waveform.

• Excellent clamping capability.

• Low incremental surge resistance.

• Fast response time; typically less

than 1.0 ps from 0 volts to BV for

unidirectional and 5.0 ns for

bidirectional.

• Typical I

R less than 1.0 µA above 10V.

DEVICES FOR BIPOLAR APPLICATIONS

- Bidirectional types use CA suffix.

- Electrical Characteristics apply in both directions.
