The Diotec ZMY160 is a surface mount, ultra-low capacitance, high-performance, transient voltage suppressor (TVS). It is designed to protect sensitive electronic components from transient overvoltage events in applications such as industrial, automotive, communications, and audio/video applications. The device is available in an easy-to-mount 8-lead SOP package and features an extremely low capacitance of only 1.5 pF, allowing it to be used in high-speed signal and data line applications. The device can suppress transients up to 15 kV, with an operating voltage range of 6.8 V to 30 V, and can withstand continual reverse voltages up to 5 V. It also has an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, allows for 500 W peak power dissipation and is RoHS compliant.
