Microchip’s unique and new Powermite MUPT series of transient voltage suppressors feature oxide-passivated chips with high-temperature solder bonds for high surge capability and negligible electrical degradation under repeated surge conditions. Both unidirectional and bidirectional configurations are available. In addition to its size advantages, the Powermite package includes a fully metallic bottom (anode) side that eliminates the possibility of solder flux entrapment at assembly and a unique locking tab design serves as an integral heat sink. Its innovative design makes this device fully compatible for use with automatic insertion equipment
