Abstract
A voltage excursion control system for limiting transient voltage peaks in electrical circuits otherwise occurring across selected components therein in response to changing conditions in such circuits has a plurality of silicon carbide diode dice series-interconnected in a succession such that each cathode region of each die face toward a common end of the succession. First and second electrically conductive electrodes are each electrically interconnected with a corresponding one of the dice at opposite ends of the succession.
