Additional Details

The TLZ16B-GS08 features a standoff voltage of 16V. A crucial parameter is its low clamping voltage, minimizing the voltage stress on protected components during surge events. The peak pulse power dissipation indicates the device's capacity to handle high-energy transients. A fast response time ensures effective clamping of transients before they reach critical levels. The surface-mount package allows efficient assembly. The glass passivated junction provides high reliability and stability. When selecting a TVS diode, consider the application's specific surge requirements, including amplitude, duration, and repetition rate.

Consult the official Vishay datasheet for the TLZ16B-GS08 for detailed specifications, including breakdown voltage, clamping voltage, peak pulse current, and operating temperature range. This ensures proper selection and application within the intended circuit.
