DESCRIPTION APPEARANCE
The AVSMCJ5.0-70A or AVSMCG5.0-70A series of 1500 W Transient Voltage
Suppressors (TVSs) protects a variety of voltage-sensitive components. It is
available in J-bend design (AVSMCJ) with the DO-214AB package for greater
PC board mounting density or in a Gull-wing design (AVSMCG) in the DO-
215AB for visible solder connections. Selections include unidirectional and
bidirectional as well as RoHS Compliant designated with an e3 suffix. They
can protect from secondary lightning effects per IEC61000-4-5 and class
levels defined herein, or for inductive switching environments and induced RF
protection. Since their response time is virtually instantaneous, they can also
be used in protection from ESD and EFT per IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-
4.
NOTE: All SMC series are
equivalent to prior SMM package
identifications.

““FOR OTHER VOLTAGES CONTACT THE FACTORY”
• For Bidirectional device types indicate a C or CA suffix after the part number. (e.g.: AVSMCG170CA).
Bidirectional capacitance is half that shown in figure 4 at zero volts.
• Microsemi Corp’s SMC series (1500 W) surface mountable packages are designed specifically for transient
voltage suppression. The wide leads assure a large surface contact for good heat dissipation, and a low
resistance path for surge current flow to ground. These high speed transient voltage suppressors can be
used to effectively protect sensitive components such as integrated circuits and MOS devices.
