• AEC-Q101 qualification makes it suitable for demanding automotive applications.
• Reduces the risk of damage to sensitive components caused by transient events.

Additional Details

The TPSMB13A-801E3 has a standoff voltage of 13V, meaning it will not conduct under normal operating conditions up to 13V. When the voltage exceeds this level, the TVS diode starts conducting and clamps the voltage to protect downstream components. It is designed for surface mount applications and offers a low profile. The device is RoHS compliant and halogen-free, meeting environmental standards. It provides reliable protection against transient voltage surges, ensuring the longevity and reliability of electronic systems.
