Technical Specifications

The LC04-12.TB has a low clamping voltage, which ensures that the voltage seen by the protected circuitry remains within safe limits during transient events. The fast response time enables the device to quickly clamp transient voltages, preventing damage to sensitive components. The device provides robust ESD protection, meeting the requirements of IEC 61000-4-2 standard. It also offers EFT protection per IEC 61000-4-4 standard. The small package size makes it suitable for space-constrained applications.

The LC04-12.TB TVS diode array diverts transient currents away from protected circuitry, preventing damage from ESD, EFT, and surge events. Its low clamping voltage and fast response time ensure that the protected components are not exposed to excessive voltages during these events. This makes the LC04-12.TB a crucial component for ensuring the reliability and longevity of electronic systems in harsh environments.
