Additional Details

The P4SMAJ5.0CA-F features a breakdown voltage of 6.4V to 7.1V and a clamping voltage of 10.3V at a peak pulse current of 38.8A. Its operating temperature range is typically from -55°C to +150°C. The bi-directional configuration ('CA' in the part number) means it provides protection against both positive and negative voltage transients. The 'F' at the end of the part number often indicates that it is halogen-free.
