LDTS48A

LDTS14 thru LDTS48A SCOTTSDALE DIVISION HEAVY DUTY (LOAD DUMP) TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SUPPRESSOR DESCRIPTION This LDTS series is used in automotive and vehicular applications where further protection may be required for load-dump and field-decay transients. This type of protection is needed when the battery is disconnected while the engine and alternator are still operating. This produces prolonged severe transients requiring additional transient voltage suppressor design considerations beyond those ratings specified for other conventional TVS components.
