August 16, 2006 - Central Semiconductor Corp. announces the release of the new CMF5.0A Series transient voltage suppressors (TVS) packaged in the SOD-123F surface mount package. The series includes reverse stand-off voltages from 5.0V thru 170V all with a peak power of 200W. Designed for protecting sensitive electronic components from high voltage transients, these new devices are ideal for industrial, computer, consumer electronics, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.

The SOD-123F, with outline dimensions of 1.8 x 2.8 x 0.98 mm, is essentially the same size as the SOD-123, but that is where the similarity ends. The SOD-123F has flat leads providing better circuit board contact area and higher power handling capability compared with the SOD-123's gull wing leads. The most notable difference with the SOD-123F is the entirely unique internal construction utilizing a jumper bar to attach the top of the chip to the lead frame. This design provides increased power dissipation capability and allows larger chips to be assembled in this tiny SMD package; opening the possibility for a new generation of smaller higher power devices.

The CMF5.0A Series is available Bulk Packed or 3,000 pcs on 7” Tape & Reel. Prices for the CMF5.0A Series start at $0.20 each for 3,000 pcs on a 7” reel. Sample devices are available upon request.
