TVS-Diodes

TVS-Diodes are a type of semiconductor device which often uses a diode (rectifiers) principle to prevent electrical surges and over-voltage from damaging electronic components. The acronym stands for Transient Voltage Suppressor device. TVS-Diodes are widely used in all kinds of commercial and consumer electronics, from computers to medical equipment, to protect against voltage spikes that can occur due to lightning strikes, power supply irregularities, or other electrical disturbances.

20KPA60A-B Application Field

The 20KPA60A-B is a TVS diode designed to provide low-voltage surge protection in a variety of applications, including medical systems, consumer electronics, telecommunications, and automotive. The device can be used in a circuit to limit inrush current due to capacitive loading, over-voltage due to lightning strikes, or even to protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD). The 20KPA60A-B TVS diode is designed to protect against high-voltage transients (from 1.5 kV to 60 V), and it is ideal for use in low-voltage applications.

20KPA60A-B Working Principle

The basic principle behind the 20KPA60A-B TVS diode is its ability to act as a “clamp” by connecting the highest voltage point of a circuit to the most negative point. When a voltage spike occurs, the diode will “open” and allow the current to flow, reducing the amount of damage the surge can cause to other electrical components. This device is designed to operate over a wide range of input voltages from -60 volts to +1.5 kilovolts.To do this, the 20KPA60A-B TVS diode utilizes zener breakdown technology. When the voltage across parallel connected diodes reaches a certain level (e.g. 6V), the zener breakdown occurs and current will pass through the device and be diverted away from the circuit. The 20KPA60A-B TVS diode also uses two layers of diodes to further protect the circuit in the event of a voltage spike. When the voltage reaches a preset level, the first diode layer opens and allows current to pass. As the voltage continues to rise, the second diode layer starts conducting and limits the output voltage to a predetermined value.

Benefits of the 20KPA60A-B TVS Diode

The 20KPA60A-B TVS diode offers superior surge protection in a wide range of applications. It is suitable for use in low-voltage applications, and it offers a much higher level of protection than that of regular zener diodes. The device is also very rugged and designed to withstand severe environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures, mechanical shocks, and vibration. Additionally, the device offers a low capacitance of under 4pf, making it ideal for high-frequency applications.The 20KPA60A-B TVS diode is also highly reliable in operation. The device is designed to automatically reset if the surge passes and the voltage returns to normal. Additionally, the device offers fast response time, meaning that it can respond to the surge quickly without creating any delay in the circuit.Overall, the 20KPA60A-B is an excellent choice for applications where surge protection is needed. It offers a level of protection that is unmatched by many other products, and it is designed to be reliable and affordable.
