Additional Details

The P0080SCLRP has a breakover voltage (VBO) of 80V and a surge current capability (ITSM) that conforms to industry standards. Its compact package allows for easy integration into various circuit board layouts. This device operates within a specified temperature range and is designed for reliable performance in telecommunications applications. The holding current is a key parameter, ensuring the device remains in the on-state until the surge has passed. The device also features a low on-state voltage, minimizing power dissipation during surge events.
