Additional Details
The PTVS40VP1UP,115 features a standoff voltage of 40V and a clamping voltage of approximately 49V at a peak pulse current (Ipp) of 1A. It is designed to handle a peak pulse power dissipation of several hundred watts, depending on the pulse duration. The package is typically a SOD-323. The low capacitance is important for protecting high-speed data lines without introducing significant signal degradation. TVS diodes are essential components for ensuring the robust and reliable operation of electronic equipment in environments susceptible to voltage transients.
