Additional Details

The Z02W9.1V-Z-RTK/P features a standoff voltage of 9.1V, which is the maximum voltage that the diode can withstand without conducting. The clamping voltage, which depends on the surge current, represents the maximum voltage that the protected circuit will experience during a transient event. Detailed specifications regarding surge handling capability, clamping voltage at different current levels, and package dimensions are available in the datasheet. This diode offers excellent ESD protection in a compact form factor, ideal for space-constrained applications. Proper PCB layout is essential to optimize the performance of this device and minimize the effects of parasitic inductance.
