TVS - Diodes

TVS Diodes (Transient Voltage Suppressors, TVSs) are used to protect sensitive electronics from high-voltage spikes. TVS Diodes are one of the most cost-effective and efficient solutions to protect against voltage transients. The 1.5KE30CA-E3/73 TVS diode is an ideal example of this technology.

Application Field

The 1.5KE30CA-E3/73 TVS diode is designed to protect sensitive electronics from high voltage transients such as those produced by lightning, power surges, and other sources. It is designed to protect a wide range of applications, such as consumer electronics, telecommunications, automotive, industrial automation, and solar energy systems.

Working Principle

When a voltage transient occurs, the 1.5KE30 CA-E3/73 TVS diode will rapidly switch on and limit the transient voltage, thus preventing any damage to connected components. The TVS diode consists of two main components: the Zener diode and the avalanche diode. The Zener diode is the main voltage-limiting element and works by diverting excessive current as it is produced by the transient voltage. The avalanche diode acts as a "clamp" to limit the maximum voltage that can be reached by the transient. The result is a fast and reliable protection of the connected components from excessive voltage transients.

The 1.5KE30CA E/3/73 TVS diode is capable of handling power up to 30 watts with a clamp voltage of 15V. It is RoHS compliant and ESD protected up to 8kV. It also has a fast response time of less than 1ns, high surge capability, and a maximum clamping voltage of 40V.

Conclusion

The 1.5KE30CA-E3/73 TVS diode is a reliable and cost-effective solution for protecting sensitive electronics from high voltage spikes. Its fast response time and high surge capability make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. It is RoHS compliant, ESD protected, and can handle up to 30 watts.
