Detailed Specs

The UESD6V8S2B has a reverse standoff voltage of 6.8V and a clamping voltage of typically 9.5V at an 8/20μs pulse. The peak pulse current is typically 5A. It is designed to protect one I/O line. The capacitance is very low, typically around 0.5pF, which is important for maintaining signal integrity in high-speed data applications. The package is a SOD-323. It's operating temperature range is -55°C to +125°C.

This TVS diode is crucial for safeguarding electronic equipment from potentially damaging voltage spikes. Its low clamping voltage and fast response time ensure that sensitive components are protected quickly and effectively. The small size of the package also makes it suitable for use in portable and space-constrained applications.
