Additional Details

The P0402FC08C-T710-2 is specifically designed to protect one I/O line. It's important to ensure that the TVS diode's standoff voltage and clamping voltage are appropriate for the circuit being protected. Exceeding the maximum ratings of the TVS diode can lead to device failure and potentially damage the protected components.
