1.5KE400AE3/TR13

TVS diodes, or Transient Voltage Suppression diodes, are electronic components that protect circuit boards, equipment, and other components from high voltage stress. This protection is achieved by the TVS diode absorbing the energy of the overvoltage and dissipating it as heat. In the case of a 1.5KE400AE3/TR13, the TVS Diode acts as an overvoltage protector.

The 1.5KE400AE3/TR13 is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor. It is capable of handling voltages of up to 400V, and is designed to conduct high currents. One of the key advantages of this type of TVS diode is its ability to respond quickly to overvoltage spikes - it can react in nanoseconds.

In terms of applications, the 1.5KE400AE3/TR13 is mostly suitable for use in automotive applications. It is used in automotive power supplies, electronic control devices, and even cells or fuel pumps. This is due to the fact that it is able to withstand high electrical stresses, and is able to protect against overvoltage spikes caused by power surges or lightning strikes.

The 1.5KE400AE3/TR13 also has a number of advantages that make it appealing in other applications, such as in industrial or consumer electronic products. This includes its ability to handle high voltage loads, its fast response time, and its robustness in severe environmental conditions such as high temperature and vibration.

In terms of its working principle, the 1.5KE400AE3/TR13 acts as a clamp or a resistor in the presence of voltage overshoots. In the event of an overvoltage, the diode will switch on, and it will limit the voltage across the circuit by being placed between the positive and negative current paths. This is achieved by the TVS diode’s energy absorbing properties and its ability to conduct large currents.

The 1.5KE400AE3/TR13 is a great example of how TVS diodes are used to protect circuits from overvoltage and high current loads. Its ability to conduct large currents and handle high voltages, as well as its fast response time, makes it ideal for use in a wide range of applications. It is a great choice for automotive applications due to its robustness, and it is also suitable for use in industrial products or consumer electronics.
