1.5KE400CA B0G Circuit Protection

The 1.5KE400A B0G is a TVS-diode that is commonly used in a variety of industrial settings due to its broad array of advantages. This type of diode is particularly well suited for applications in which high-wattage and high-frequency transients must be quickly and safely diminished, such as in protection of industrial electronics or Telecom equipment from lightning-induced transients.

The 1.5KE400A B0G has a unique “built-in guardring” design, which provides high levels of circuitry isolation through its curved geometry that diffuses electric fields. This makes the diode effective at taming high-wattage transients. Additionally, its small size allows optimal flexibility when designing circuits, since very little space is used to accommodate the diode.

The 1.5KE400A B0G is a two-terminal TVS diode that is available in surface-mount or through-hole packaging. It is designed to dissipate transients faster than any other competing TVS-diode. Furthermore, it has low clamping voltage and is able to withstand up to 2 amperes in continuous operation. The diode’s optimized symmetrical clamping action provides excellent protection for large voltage transients, including those arising from lightning strikes.

The working principle of the 1.5KE400A B0G is fairly simple. As voltage increases past a preset level, the diode becomes increasingly conductive and soaks up large amounts of energy, thus reducing the amount of power passed through the electrical system. This provides surge protection by limiting the voltage to safe levels and preventing damage to sensitive parts of the system.

In summary, the 1.5KE400A B0G is an extremely effective TVS-diode which provides excellent surge and lightning protection for a variety of industrial and telecom applications. It has a unique “built-in guardring” design which provides high levels of circuitry isolation through its curved geometry, resulting in greater efficiency and performance compared to other competing diodes. Furthermore, its streamlined design makes it ideal for design flexibility when space is at a premium.
