3. SURGE CURRENT (Ir) - Surge current is specified as the maximum allowable peak, non-recurrent square-wave

current with a pulse width, PW, of 8.3 ms. The data given in Figure 5 may be used to find the maximum surge

current for a quare wave of any pulse width between 1 ms and 1000ms by plotting the applicable points on

logarithmic paper. Examples of this, using the 6.8v and 200V zeners, are shown in Figure 6. Mounting

).

4. VOLTAGE REGULATION ( Vz) - Test conditions for voltage regulation are as follows: Vz measurements are made

at 10% and then at 50% of the Iz max value listed in the electrical characteristics table. The test currents are the
