Additional Details
The SM6G45 typically has a standoff voltage of 45V. It is crucial to consult the datasheet for the specific electrical characteristics (e.g., reverse standoff voltage, breakdown voltage, clamping voltage, peak pulse current) to ensure proper selection for your application. The operating temperature range will also be specified in the datasheet. The package is usually a DO-214AC (SMA) package. The device is designed to meet industry standards for transient voltage suppression.
