Additional Details

The CT0805K14G has a typical breakdown voltage of 14 V and a surge current capability of up to 100 A. It has a low capacitance which is important for preserving signal integrity in high-speed data lines. It is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -55°C to +125°C. The small size allows it to be placed near the sensitive components it is protecting, improving the effectiveness of the transient suppression. It is suitable for reflow soldering processes.
