Notes
• Sinusoidal voltage assumed as normal operating condition.
If a non-sinusoidal voltage is present, the crest voltage x 0.707 should be used for type selection.
• Breakdown voltage at a current of 1 mA, measured according to 4.5 of IEC 61051-1.
• Parts are not recommended for automotive applications.
