TVS - Diodes

TVS diodes provide surge protection against potentially damaging electrical transients. Transient Voltage Suppressors, or TVS diodes, are polymer coated, solid state devices specifically designed to protect companies’ valuable electronics from transient overvoltages such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning strikes, and line surges.

1.5KE160AHA0G is a type of TVS - diodes. It is a unidirectional diode with an operating junction temperature of -55°C to 150°C and can handle surge peak reverse power of 7.3W. The device is primarily designed as a low-power protection device for electronic circuits.

1.5KE160AHA0G Application Field

1.5KE160AHA0G is designed for protecting one-line and multiline electronic equipment against induced transient overvoltages. It is commonly used in automotive, commercial, home, and industrial applications, including:

• Computer and communications equipment
• Consumer electronic products
• Power Supplies, electronic ballast, automotive, and industrial equipment
• Telecommunications

1.5KE160AHA0G Working Principle

1.5KE160AHA0G has a unique construction with an extendable chip and center point anode. The device behaves like a regular PN junction diode during normal operation when it is not triggered by a surge. The PN junction is constructed by a thick P-type layer sandwiched between two highly doped N-type layers. The anode and cathode connections terminate into metal contacts.

When a surge occurs, the device is triggered, which effectively provides a low impedance path to ground, thereby shunting the transient energy and protecting the downstream circuitry. This is accomplished by utilizing the avalanche breakdown characteristic of the PN junction. This breakdown causes an increase in current flow through the device as voltage is increased. As current flows through the device, the power dissipation will be limited by the device\'s power rating, and the voltage spike will be safely dissipated to ground.

Conclusion

1.5KE160AHA0G is a reliable, low-power protection device used in a variety of applications. It is designed to protect electronic circuits from transient overvoltages such as ESD, lightning strikes, and line surges. Its unique construction allows for an enhanced reaction to surge events and more effective transient voltage suppression.
