1500 Watt Mosorbt Zener
Transient Voltage Suppressors
Unidirectional*
Mosorb devices are designed to protect voltage sensitive
components from high voltage, high−energy transients. They have
excellent clamping capability, high surge capability, low zener
impedance and fast response time. These devices are
ON Semiconductor’s exclusive, cost-effective, highly reliable
Surmetic axial leaded package and are ideally-suited for use in
communication systems, numerical controls, process controls,
medical equipment, business machines, power supplies and many
other industrial/consumer applications, to protect CMOS, MOS and
Bipolar integrated circuits.
Features
Working Peak Reverse Voltage Range − 5 V
Peak Power − 1500 Watts @ 1 ms
Maximum Clamp Voltage @ Peak Pulse Current
Low Leakage < 5 mA Above 10 V
Response Time is Typically < 1 ns
Pb−Free Packages are Available
Mechanical Characteristics

Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur. Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit
values (not normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are exceeded, device functional operation is not implied,
damage may occur and reliability may be affected.

3. Square waveform, PW = 8.3 ms, Non−repetitive duty cycle.
4. 1N5908 is JEDEC registered as a unidirectional device only (no bidirectional option)
5. A transient suppressor is normally selected according to the maximum working peak reverse voltage (V
RWM
), which should be equal to or
greater than the dc or continuous peak operating voltage level.
