Clamping voltage and peak current — the real protection envelope
When a transient exceeds the 77.9 V minimum breakdown threshold, the device avalanches and clamps to 113 V maximum at the rated 13.3 A peak pulse current. That 113 V ceiling is what the downstream silicon must survive — if the protected rail is a 48 V telecom bus, the clamp margin is roughly 2.4× the nominal, which most downstream DC-DC converters with 100 V abs-max input can ride through.
