Notes:
(1) “ C “ Suffix indicates bi-directional
(2) ICTE-5 and 1N6373 are not available as bi-directional
(3) The minimum breakdown voltage as shown takes into consideration the ±1 Volt tolerance normally specified for power supply regulation on most integrated
circuit manufacturers data sheets. Please consult factory for devices that require reduced clamping voltages where tighter regulated power supply voltages
are employed.
(4) Clamping Factor: 1.33 at full rated power; 1.20 at 50% rated power; Clamping Factor: the ratio of the actual Vc (Clamping Voltage) to the V
(BR)
(Breakdown
Voltage) as measured on a specific device.
