Voltage - Breakdown (Min) is a parameter used to specify the minimum voltage level at which an electronic component, such as a diode or capacitor, will break down and allow current to flow through it uncontrollably. This breakdown voltage is a critical characteristic that determines the maximum voltage the component can withstand before failing. It is important to ensure that the applied voltage does not exceed this minimum breakdown voltage to prevent damage to the component and maintain proper functionality. Manufacturers provide this specification to help engineers and designers select components that are suitable for their intended applications and operating conditions.

Power - Peak Pulse refers to the maximum transient power level that an electronic component, such as a diode or a transzorber, can safely dissipate during a short-duration pulse. This parameter is critical in determining the component's ability to withstand voltage spikes or surges without failure. It is typically expressed in watts and is measured over a specific duration, usually in microseconds or nanoseconds, to reflect the component's performance under peak conditions. Understanding this parameter helps designers select appropriate components for applications where transient conditions are expected.

The parameter "Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000μs)" in electronic components refers to the maximum current that a device can handle during a transient overvoltage event with a specific waveform, typically a 10/1000μs pulse. This parameter is important for surge protection devices such as transient voltage suppressors (TVS) and varistors, as it indicates the device's ability to divert excess current away from sensitive components and protect them from damage. A higher peak pulse current rating signifies better surge protection capability, making the component more suitable for applications exposed to high-voltage transients or lightning strikes.

Designers use this specification to select appropriate components for overvoltage protection in their applications.

Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ) refers to the maximum reverse voltage that a semiconductor device, such as a diode or a transient voltage suppressor, can withstand without entering into breakdown. It is typically specified as a nominal value and indicates the voltage level at which the device transitions from its non-conducting state to a conducting state when reverse-biased. Exceeding this voltage can lead to permanent damage or failure of the component. This parameter is crucial for ensuring the safe operating limits of electronic circuits, particularly in protecting sensitive components from voltage spikes.

Unidirectional channels in electronic components refer to pathways that allow the flow of electrical current in only one direction. These channels are essential in devices like diodes, which permit current to pass through while blocking any reverse flow. Their primary function is to control and direct the flow of electricity, ensuring that circuit operation remains efficient and protects components from potential damage due to reverse currents. Unidirectional channels are commonly used in power supply circuits, signal rectification, and various electronic applications where controlled current flow is crucial.
