Technical Specifications

The DF2S8.2CT features a reverse standoff voltage of 8.2V and a typical clamping voltage of around 13V. It is available in a small surface mount package, such as a SOD-923. The specific surge current capability varies depending on the waveform and duration but is typically rated for several amperes. The diode exhibits a fast response time, typically in the nanosecond range, allowing it to quickly clamp transient voltages. This TVS diode is designed to protect one I/O line from transient overvoltages.

This device is crucial for protecting sensitive electronic components from the harmful effects of ESD and other transient voltage events, making it an essential component in modern electronic designs.
