TVS-Diodes are widely used in the protection of electrical components, due to their ability to absorb high levels of electrical energy and dissipate it into the surrounding environment. The 1KSMB13A type of diode offers superior protection in applications where high current and fast transient voltage protection is required. It is capable of handling up to 13 amperes’ worth of transient voltage and up to 8 amperes of sustained current.

The 1KSMB13A has two main bases: the cathode and the anode. The cathode side is connected to the circuit and receives the energy in the waveform of a transient voltage. The anode is then connected to the ground source in order to dissipate the energy as heat into the environment. This diode can provide lightning-class electro-magnetic interference protection (EMI), as well as surge and over-current protection in applications where fast response is important.

The device features a low capacitance of only 0.02pF, and a low reverse-recovery time of just 17ns. This makes it well-suited for fast-changing network environments, such as in medical equipment, Ethernet controllers, audio equipment, automotive systems, and other industrial and consumer applications. The voltage peak current rating of 13A makes it suitable for replacing lower-current diodes in many applications.

The 1KSMB13A is also capable of achieving a rated maximum energy of up to 330 watts at 8A, which makes it superior to other diodes in its class. Additionally, its voltage peak rating is 1.5 times better than other diodes with the same amperage rating, meaning that it can more effectively handle transients in high-voltage applications. It also has a low junction and storage temperature range, allowing it to be effectively used in higher-temperature environments.

The 1KSMB13A is a robust diode that can be employed in a wide range of applications where the protection of critical components is necessary. By dissipating transient voltages, this diode can keep components free from damage, while its low recovery times and high energy dissipation make it well-suited for dynamic environments. Finally, its superior peak voltage and current ratings helps it handle transients more effectively than other diodes in its class, saving time and money for application developers.
