Product details

1500W surge clamp for a 5.8V rail

It delivers 1500W peak pulse power (10/1000µs waveform) and clamps at 13.4V maximum, with a breakdown voltage starting at 6.45V minimum.

Clamping voltage and peak current — the protection envelope

The 13.4V clamping maximum at 746A peak pulse current (8/20µs waveform) defines the voltage the protected circuitry sees during a surge. For a 5.8V nominal rail, that leaves enough headroom above the operating voltage to avoid nuisance triggering, yet clamps low enough to protect downstream 5V-tolerant parts. The 6.45V minimum breakdown ensures the device starts conducting before the transient exceeds the rail's absolute maximum.
