Additional Details

The SV5100-AU has a standoff voltage of 5.0V, indicating the maximum voltage the diode can withstand without clamping. Its breakdown voltage is the voltage at which the diode starts to conduct significantly, and the clamping voltage is the maximum voltage the diode will allow to pass through during a surge event. The peak pulse power is the maximum power the diode can dissipate during a surge. This component is designed for surface mount technology (SMT). The operating temperature range is wide, allowing for applications in harsh environments. The SV5100-AU is crucial for protecting sensitive electronics from damaging voltage transients, ensuring reliable performance and long service life.
