Additional Details:

The TESD712G2B has a standoff voltage of 12V and is designed to handle significant surge currents. It features a low dynamic resistance, contributing to its low clamping voltage. The device is typically available in a small surface-mount package such as a SOT-23 or similar. It complies with industry standards for ESD protection, such as IEC 61000-4-2, which specifies the level of ESD immunity. The device’s low leakage current ensures that it does not significantly contribute to power consumption during normal operation. The operating temperature range is typically from -55°C to +125°C.
