Applications
Voltage transients can be suppressed with series elements, shunt elements or a combination of both. These
elements may be passive or active. For low & medium power applications, a series resistor & zener clamp offer
several attractive features:
1. Simplicity of design.
2. High reliability.
3. Fast response time.
The 1N5610 series will suppress the following transients (defined by MIL-S-704A) without using any series
limiting resistance; (except as noted in line #3 below)
1. All 600 V transients (category 1 in chart below).
2. All 80 V transients except those generated by the main voltage regulator (category 2 in chart below).
3. Over-voltage transients from the main voltage regulator (category 3 in chart below) will be suppressed if:
a. A 20 ohm series limiting resistor is used, or-
b. No series resistance is used & the zener is protected within 500
s, using (for example) an SCR crowbar.
The above statements are based on the source impedances & dv/dt characteristics as given in ARINC* spec#
413; entitled "Guidance for Aircraft Electrical Power Utilization & Transient Protection. This report further
defines MIL-STD-704A in regard to large aircraft electrical systems.
These surge suppressors are useful in a varierty of other applications where semiconductor devices must
function in an environment subject to extremely high, but short term surges.
