AK1-Y Series

Product catalog summary
Overview: The AK1-Y series of high power TVS diodes by Littelfuse is designed for severe surge test environments in both AC and DC line protection applications. These diodes offer fast response and low clamping characteristics compared to traditional MOVs, and can be connected in series or parallel for enhanced surge current protection.
Features: The AK1-Y series is recognized by UL 497B as an Isolated Loop Circuit Protector and is capable of both reflow and wave soldering. It features very low clamping voltage, compact size, sharp breakdown voltage, low slope resistance, and is bi-directional. It provides ESD protection in accordance with IEC 61000-4-2 and EFT protection in accordance with IEC 61000-4-4. The series is RoHS compliant, halogen-free, and has a glass passivated junction.
Electrical Characteristics: The series includes models such as AK1-076C-Y, AK1-380C-Y, and AK1-430C-Y, with varying standoff voltages, reverse leakage, breakdown voltages, and clamping voltages. All models have a peak pulse current rating of 1 kA and a maximum temperature coefficient of VBR of 0.1%/°C.
Maximum Ratings and Thermal Characteristics: The operating storage temperature range is -55 to 150°C, and the operating junction temperature range is -55 to 125°C. The current rating is 1 kA, measured with an 8/20μs pulse.
Soldering Parameters: For lead-free assembly, the preheat temperature ranges from 150°C to 200°C, with a peak temperature of 260°C. The ramp-up rate to peak temperature is 3°C/second max, and the ramp-down rate is 6°C/second max.
Part Marking and Packaging: The part numbering system includes series type, standoff voltage, and coating color. Packaging options include bulk packaging with quantities of 56 or 12 pieces per box.
Dimensions: The dimensions of the diodes are provided in both inches and millimeters, with specific tolerances for each measurement.
