Additional Details:
The P2202AC60 has a breakover voltage (VBO) of typically 220V and a surge current capability of up to 60A. It's typically packaged in a DO-214AA (SMB) package. The holding current (IH) is typically low, ensuring that the SIDACtor resets quickly after the transient event. The device is designed to operate within a specified temperature range, typically -40°C to +125°C. It is commonly used in a wide range of applications where overvoltage protection is required.
