Additional Details

The CGA0805MLA-22101E features a multilayer construction that provides excellent energy absorption capability. Its fast response time ensures that transient voltages are suppressed quickly, protecting downstream components. The low clamping voltage limits the voltage seen by the protected components. The 0805 surface mount package allows for easy integration into printed circuit boards. The operating voltage is typically 22V. The maximum surge current is around 100A, depending on the pulse width and waveform. The capacitance is typically around 30pF. The operating temperature is typically from -55°C to +125°C. It meets industry standards for ESD protection.

This varistor is particularly effective in protecting against ESD events in portable devices and suppressing voltage transients in automotive and industrial applications.
