Technical Specifications

The TESDA5V0A RFG typically has a standoff voltage of 5V, a clamping voltage around 7V-8V, and a peak pulse power dissipation capability of several hundred watts. Precise specifications, including breakdown voltage, reverse leakage current, and surge current ratings, should be verified from the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. These values are critical for selecting the appropriate TVS diode to protect specific circuits effectively. The datasheet will provide the necessary information to ensure the TVS diode's characteristics match the application's requirements.
