Protected Circuit Issues:Let-Through Voltage

Let-through voltage: The peak voltage that the protected circuit will see in the real application.

Similar to the datasheet Vs value:– Vs is defined as the peak voltage measured directly across

the SIDACtor at a particular voltage rate of rise. Dependent on:

– Actual incident voltage rate of rise– Board layout:

SIDACtor should be as near the entrance to the board as possible.

SIDACtor should be “in-line” so that the surge must pass under the SIDACtor on the way to the protected circuit..
