Additional Details

The CT0805M4G has a breakdown voltage of approximately 4V and offers a surge current capability exceeding common standards. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and is optimized for reflow soldering processes. This device offers a low capacitance value, making it suitable for use in high-speed data lines. The small footprint makes it possible to be positioned directly adjacent to the circuitry being protected, further improving the effectiveness of the suppression.
