1.5KE250CAE3/TR13

TVS diodes (Transient Voltage Suppressors) are an important component in any electrical circuit, especially those designed to protect against high-voltage transients. The 1.5KE250CAE3/TR13 is a surface-mount TVS diode specifically designed to protect circuits from voltage transients. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of this particular device.

Application Field

The 1.5KE250CAE3/TR13 diode is designed to protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other transient electrical events in a variety of electronic components ranging from computers and peripherals to industrial machinery. It is often used in conjunction with other protection devices, such as gas discharge tubes (GDTs) and surge-protection devices (SPDs). This diode is also used in general-purpose segment systems, automotive applications, and high-frequency circuits.

Working Principle

The 1.5KE250CAE3/TR13 works by providing a low-impedance path for voltage transients, effectively short-circuiting them and preventing them from damaging sensitive components in the circuit. This device has charging and discharging characteristics, which allow it to store energy during a voltage transient and dissipated that energy slowly over time. As a result, it can limit the noise and transient voltage seen by the circuit by providing an alternative path for the current. This results in smoother operation of the circuit and reduced wear on components.

The 1.5KE250CAE3/TR13 is also designed to reduce the peak voltage, as well as the peak current. This is accomplished by the diode\'s low dynamic impedance. This device also has a low shunt capacitance, which helps reduce both the voltage and current during a voltage transient. As a result, the diode can effectively reduce the total energy seen by the circuit.

Conclusion

The 1.5KE250CAE3/TR13 is an important component in any circuit designed to protect against high-voltage transients. It is used in a variety of applications, from computers and peripherals to industrial machinery. This diode works by providing a low impedance path for voltage transients, short-circuiting them and preventing them from damaging sensitive components. The 1.5KE250CAE3/TR13 also has charging and discharging characteristics, which allow it to reduce the peak voltage, peak current, and total energy seen by the circuit.
