A new 15V bidirectional high current power TVS Diode from Bourns is for use in high power DC bus clamping applications. It is available in Europe from TTI. The PTVS3-015C-TH device offers very high surge current protection (3kA @ +25°C). Typical target applications are exposed AC/DC power supplies, for example in wireless base stations.

The PTVS3 series offers bidirectional port protection meeting IEC 61000-4-5 8/20 μs current surge requirements and is RoHS compliant and halogen free.

When compared to typical competing MOV technology, the use of silicon technology in the Power TVS products provides a lower clamping voltage under surge, greater performance stability and increased reliability.

These devices exhibit an excellent surge response versus temperature; the maximum surge current at 150°C exceeds 70% of their rated value at 25°C.
