1.5KE110

1.5KE110 is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode. It is a special type of semiconductor diode designed to provide protection against voltage spikes caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) or inductive load switching. The 1.5KE110 is designed to protect electronic components from voltage transients that may occur in electronic systems. The TVS diode is designed to clamp the transient voltage to a level suitable for the equipment it is protecting.

Application Field

1.5KE110 TVS diode is suitable for applications where high speed switching operations, and line transients are present. Examples of such applications include industrial/automotive environments, power supplies, communications equipment, entertainment systems, Telecom, public lighting, and automotive systems. Great for automotive and industrial/applications where transient protection is critical.

Working Principle

The 1.5KE110 TVS diode utilises a proprietary avalanche breakdown mechanism to clamp the electric overstress (EOS) voltage to a safe level. Its reverse-breakdown voltage is adjustable with respect to its avalanche current. This feature allows it to perform effectively under a wide range of transient overvoltages and is designed to protect against ESD and electrical surges.

When there is a voltage change, the diode does not immediately begin to conduct current. Instead, the diode\'s internally located PN junction begins to accumulate electrons and holes. As the voltage reaches its avalanche current, the stored electrons and holes are released, thereby allowing the diode to switch from off to on. After the initial avalanche current has been released, the diode begins to conduct in the "on" mode until the voltage drops back to a safe level.

The 1.5KE110 TVS diode features a low peak pulse power so that it does not persistently misfire when conducting an overvoltage. This means that the peak power is managed to prevent the diode from being destroyed, and the energy from the overvoltage is dissipated safely. The low peak power design of the 1.5KE110 makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Conclusion

The 1.5KE110 is a reliable and highly effective transient voltage suppressor diode. It features a proprietary avalanche breakdown mechanism and low peak pulse power design, which makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. The 1.5KE110 is also designed to provide effective protection against electrical overstress (EOS) and line transients, thus making it ideal for protecting electrical components from voltage transients.
