NOTES: 1. Average power dissipation of transients not to exceed 0.1W, 0.15W, 0.3W and 1W for model sizes 1206, 1210, 1812 and 2220 respectively.
2. Load Dump energy rating (into the suppressor) of a voltage transient with a resultant time constant of 115ms to 230ms.
3. Thermal shock capability per Mil-Std-750, Method 1051: -55ºC to 125ºC, 5 minutes at 25ºC, 25 Cycles: 15 minutes at each extreme.
4. For application specific requirements, please contact Littelfuse.
For automotive 24V and 42V applications please contact your Littelfuse representative or visit www.littelfuse.com for the latest product update.
Current, Energy and Power Derating Curve
When transients occur in rapid succession, the average
power dissipation is the energy (watt-seconds) per pulse
times the number of pulses per second. The power so
developed must be within the specifications shown on the
Device Ratings and Characteristics Table for the specific
device. Certain parameter ratings must be derated at high
temperatures as shown below.
