Additional Details

The TLZ13B-GS08 has a standoff voltage of 13V. It is characterized by its low clamping voltage, which minimizes the voltage stress on protected components during a surge event. The peak pulse power dissipation is a crucial parameter indicating the device's ability to handle high-energy transients. The device's fast response time ensures that it can effectively clamp transient voltages before they reach critical levels. The surface-mount package allows for efficient and automated assembly. It is important to consider the specific surge requirements of the application when selecting a TVS diode, including the amplitude, duration, and repetition rate of the expected transients.

For detailed specifications, including breakdown voltage, clamping voltage, peak pulse current, and operating temperature range, refer to the official Vishay datasheet for the TLZ13B-GS08. This will ensure proper selection and application of the TVS diode in the intended circuit.
