NOTES:
(1) Tested with pulses tp = 5 ms
(2) Valid provided that leads are kept at ambient temperature at a distance of 8 mm from case
(3) The BZX55C0V8 is a silicon diode with operation in forward direction. Hence, the index of all parameters should be F instead of Z.
Connect the cathode lead to the negative pole
(4) at IZ = 2.5 mA
(5) at IZ = 0.5 mA
