Data Book and Design Guide
SIDACtor devices are thyristor devices used to protect sensitive circuits from electrical
disturbances caused by lightning-induced surges, inductive-coupled spikes, and AC power
cross conditions. The unique structure and characteristics of the thyristor are used to create
an overvoltage protection device with precise and repeatable turn-on characteristics with
low voltage overshoot and high surge current capabilities.
Key Parameters
Key parameters for SIDACtor devices are V

Operation
The SIDACtor device operates much like a switch. In the off state, the device exhibits
