Voltage Control
Bourns® voltage control devices are used with high-speed series protectors to protect sensitive circuits from electrical disturbances
caused by lightning-induced surges, inductive-coupled spikes, and AC power cross conditions. The unique structure and character-
istics of the device are used to create an overvoltage protection device with precise and repeatable turn-on characteristics with low
voltage overshoot and high surge current capabilities.

IPP (peak pulse current) - maximum rated peak impulse current with
1.2/50 µs waveform
VDRM (peak off-state voltage) - maximum voltage that can be applied
while maintaining off state measured at IDRM
VS (switching voltage) - maximum voltage prior to switching to on-state
measured at 100 V/µs
VT (on-state voltage) - maximum voltage measured at rated on-state
current
IDRM (leakage current) - maximum peak off-state current measured at
VDRM
IS (switching current) - maximum current required to switch to on state
IT (on-state current) - maximum rated continuous on-state current
IH (holding current) - minimum current required to maintain on state
CO (off-state capacitance) - typical off-state capacitance measured at 1
MHz with a 2 V bias

General Notes:
All measurements are at an ambient temperature of 25 °C. IPP applies to -40 °C through +85 °C.
IPP is a repetitive surge rating and is designed to be maintained for the life of the product.
The devices are bidirectional. All electrical parameters and surge ratings apply to forward and reverse polarities.
Special voltage (VS and VDRM) and holding current (IH) requirements are available upon request.
