Description (1.0mm x 0.6mm x 0.45mm)

AZ5123-01F is a design which includes one

Bi-directional surge rated clamping cell to protect
one power line, or one control line, or one low
speed data line in an electronic systems. The
AZ5123-01F has been specifically designed to
protect sensitive components which are
connected to power and control lines from
over-voltage damage and latch-up caused by
Electrostatic Discharging (ESD), Electrical Fast
Transients (EFT), Lightning, and Cable
Discharge Event (CDE).
