scope:

This specification covers the detail requirements for 500-watt peak pulse, power, silicon transient voltage suppressor diodes. Two levels of product assurance are provided for each device as specified in MIL-S-19500. Characterization for standard and inverse polarity transients are included.

See figures 1 and 2.

Maximum ratings are as shown in columns 5 through 8 of table V herein and as follows:

P_R = 2.5 W (derate at 16.7 mW/°C above T_A = +25°C for nonsurface mount devices or 10 mW/°C above T_A = +25°C for surface mount devices).

P_PR = 500 W (see figure 3) at t_p = 1 ms.

I_FSM = 80 A (pk) at t_p = 8.33 ms (T_A = +25°C).

−55°C ≤ T_OP ≤ +175°C; −55°C ≤ T_STG ≤ +200°C (ambient).

Primary electrical characteristics are as shown in columns 2 and 4 of table V herein. These characteristics apply to all package types.
