JAN1N6117 Circuit Protection

TVS – Diodes

Transient Voltage Suppression or TVS diodes are designed for protecting sensitive electronic components from voltage transients occurring in their environment. TVS diodes are usually limited to use up to around 200 volts and are often used in applications where soft switching circuits and snubber circuits are present alongside the device. These types of diodes have become increasingly important in recent years as advances in semiconductor technology have allowed them to become much more cost effective to use than traditional suppressors and transistors.

The JAN1N6117 application field includes a wide range of consumer electronics, industrial devices and computer components. In addition to protection against damaging electrical transients, the JAN1N6117 can also be used to suppress excess voltage that may be generated when a device is powered down. This type of voltage suppression is important in cases where electrical components are used in close proximity to one another and where one component may act as a voltage source for another.

The JAN1N6117 device is designed for use in environments where electrical transients may occur. It can also be used to minimize the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and provide protection against power surges. The device is rated to protect up to 240 volts and can handle transients of up to 200 volts peak voltage. It is capable of handling up to 100 watts of power and features a high breakdown voltage of 600 volts.

The JAN1N6117 device works by clamping the voltage below a certain level before any damage can be done to the component. It does this by using a zener diode that is placed in parallel with the component. When the voltage reaches a certain level, the diode will become forward biased and begin to conduct, thus reducing the amount of voltage that can reach the component. This reduces the effects of the transient and allows the component to continue to operate without any damage.

The JAN1N6117 has a number of advantages over traditional transient suppressors. One advantage is that the device is much smaller and more cost effective than traditional suppressors. This allows it to be integrated into smaller devices and to have a longer life span than traditional suppressors. Additionally, the device can also provide faster response times to transient events and can handle higher voltages than traditional suppressors.

In summary, the JAN1N6117 is a versatile and cost effective device for protecting sensitive electronic components from electrical transients and electromagnetic interference. It is often integrated into consumer electronics, industrial devices and computer components because of its small form factor, low cost and high breakdown voltage. The device is also capable of providing excellent protection against voltage transients and can handle high wattage loads.
