In a multistage
transient suppressor, each stage is separated using resistors or inductors that, in conjunction with the component capacitance, form a frequency filter.
So, with these considerations in mind, a SASD-based transient suppressor can be reasonably expected to illustrate an "in circuit" response time of five nanoseconds or less.
Transient suppressors manufactured by different manufacturers utilize various suppression technologies including selenium, gas tubes, metal oxide varistors (MOVs), silicon avalanche suppressor diodes (SASDs), or combinations of the above as their suppression components.
The AK Series high current silicon
transient suppressor offers more efficient electrical and electronic device protection against destructive higher-power transient voltages.
* Consider
transient suppressors (TVSS) at power distribution centers in areas of high lightning activity and where starting and stopping of large motors can create transients.
The USB Series of
Transient Suppressors has expanded with the addition of an 0402-size model.
