Additional Details:

The P2300SDL has a breakover voltage (VBO) of 230V. It is designed to switch rapidly to a low on-state voltage, diverting the surge current away from sensitive components. The device's low clamping voltage ensures that the voltage across the protected circuit remains within safe operating limits. The holding current (IH) is specified to ensure that the device remains in the on-state during the entire duration of the surge event. The P2300SDL is suitable for applications where reliable surge protection is critical.

Littelfuse SIDACtor devices are known for their high reliability and performance, making them a popular choice for protecting electronic equipment in a wide range of applications. The P2300SDL is a robust and effective solution for protecting against overvoltage transients.
