Device Characteristics
"UMPXDVSSFOUMFWFMT UIF7*DVSWFPGUIFNVMUJMBZFS
transient voltage suppressor approaches a linear (ohmic)
relationship and shows a temperature dependent effect.
At or below the maximum working voltage, the suppressor
is in a high resistance model (approaching 106Ω at its
maximum rated working voltage). Leakage currents at
maximum rated voltage are below 100μ" UZQJDBMMZμA;
for 0402 size below 20μ" UZQJDBMMZμA.

Speed of Response
The Multilayer Suppressor is a leadless device. Its
response time is not limited by the parasitic lead
inductances found in other surface mount packages.

such as ESD. Additionally, in “real world” applications,
the associated circuit wiring is often the greatest
factor effecting speed of response. Therefore, transient
suppressor placement within a circuit can be considered
important in certain instances.

Wave soldering is the most strenuous of the processes.
To avoid the possibility of generating stresses due to
thermal shock, a preheat stage in the soldering process
is recommended, and the peak temperature of the solder
process should be rigidly controlled.
When using a reflow process, care should be taken to
ensure that the MHS chip is not subjected to a thermal
gradient steeper than 4 degrees per second; the ideal
gradient being 2 degrees per second. During the soldering
process, preheating to within 100 degrees of the solder's
peak temperature is essential to minimize thermal shock.
