The surge protective device suppressor diode has a clamping voltage-limiting function and operates in the reverse breakdown region. Due to its low clamping voltage and fast response, the surge protector suppressor diode is particularly suitable for use as the last few stages of protection in a multi-stage protection circuit. The surge protection device suppressor diode's volt-ampere characteristic in the breakdown region can be expressed as follows: I = CUα, where α is the nonlinear coefficient. For Zener diodes, α = 7 to 9, and for avalanche diodes, α = 5 to 7.
