Additional Details

The VDZFST4R5.6B has a standoff voltage of 4.5V and a breakdown voltage typically around 5.6V. It comes in a small surface mount package (SOD-523). It is RoHS compliant. The clamping voltage at a specified surge current is a crucial parameter for determining its effectiveness in protecting downstream components. This device is typically used in applications where a low voltage rail needs to be protected from ESD or other transient voltage spikes. The specific surge current capability will depend on the test waveform (e.g., IEC 61000-4-2 for ESD, IEC 61000-4-5 for surge) and is usually detailed in the datasheet.
