Additional Details

The HWD27-10 has a standoff voltage of 10V. The peak pulse power is dependent on the pulse width. Refer to the datasheet for the specific values. It is commonly available in a DO-201 package. The clamping voltage is also a crucial parameter that can be found in the datasheet, as it defines the maximum voltage that will be allowed across the protected circuit during a transient event. It is crucial to consult the datasheet for complete specifications and derating curves to ensure proper application.
