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.
