DESCRIPTION
This MP5KE5.0A – MP5KE170CA is a family of economical 500 W transient voltage supppressors (TVS) for protecting voltage-sensitive components from destruction or degradation. It is available in both unidirectional and bi-directional configurations as well as RoHS compliant (annealed matte-tin finish) and upscreened, enhanced high reliability options. The response time of their clamping time is virtually instantaneous. As a result, they may also be used effectively for protection from ESD or EFT per IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4 or for inductive switching environments and induced RFI. They can also be used for protection from the secondary effects of lightning per IEC61000-4-5 at the class levels listed below.

FEATURES
• Available in both unidirectional and bidirectional configurations
• Suppresses transients up to 500 watts Peak Pulse Power (PPP) @ 10/1000 µs
• 3σ lot norm screening performed on standby current ID
• 100% surge tested devices
• Various screening in reference to MIL-PRF-19500 are available. Refer to Hirel Non-Hermetic Product Portfolio for more details on the screening options. (See part nomenclature for all options.)
• High reliability controlled devices have wafer fabrication and assembly lot traceability
• Moisture classification is level 1 with no dry pack required per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B
• RoHS compliant versions are available
