Balanced MC Series Modified TO-220 are low
capacitance SIDACtor
®
devices designed to protect
broadband equipment from damaging overvoltage
transients. The patented “Y” configuration also ensures
balanced overvoltage protection.
The series provides a single port solution that enables
equipment to comply with various global requlatory
standards while limiting the impact to broadband
signals.
Features and Benefits
t Low voltage overshoot
t Low on-state voltage
t Does not degrade with
use
t Fails short circuit when
surged in excess of
ratings
t Balanced overvoltage
t 40% lower capacitance
than our Baseband
Protectors, for
applications that demand
greater signal integrity
t Robust Modified TO-220
Package
t Custom lead forms

- Peak pulse current rating (IPP) is repetitive and guaranteed for the life of the product.
- IPP ratings applicable over temperature range of -40ºC to +85ºC
- The device must initially be in thermal equilibrium with -40°C < TJ < +150°C
