*****
SA15A - Transient Voltage Suppressor
     * Glass passivated junction.
     * 500W Peak Pulse Power capability on 10/1000 ms waveform.
     * Excellent clamping capability.
     * Low incremental surge resistance.
     * Fast response time; typically less than 1.0 ps from 0 volts to
BV for unidirectional and 5.0 ns for bidirectional.
     * Typical IR less than 1.0 mA above 10V
