Abstract
Transient voltage protection for transistors, integrated circuits, and SCR´s can be achieved by using many matched Zener diodes paralleled on a common heat sink. The assembly reacts instantaneously and limits the voltage to a pre-determined value. It does not introduce extraneous noise into the circuit and it is immediately operational after the transient is gone.
