Description:

The NTE4900 series of silicon Transient Suppressors designed to protect voltage sensitive components from high energy voltage transients. Transient over voltage suppressor devices have become very important as a consequence of their high surge capability, extremely fast response time, and low incremental surge resistance (Rs).
