1KSMB39A

TVS - Diodes are an integral part of the electrical engineering world, providing protection against voltage spikes and surges. The 1KSMB39A is a bi-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor Diode that offers excellent protection against over-voltage transient conditions. It provides an ideal solution for applications in power systems, telecommunications equipment, medical equipment, consumer electronics, and more.

The 1KSMB39A provides protection against the damaging effects of voltage transients and is used for both uni-directional and bi-directional protection applications. Because of its bi-directional design, the 1KSMB39A is capable of providing protection for both positive and negative transient surges, allowing for enhanced protection in critical applications.

The 1KSMB39A is designed with a high-purity Zener diode and is capable of carrying a maximum continuous reverse current of 5.5A at a voltage of 35V (DC). It\'s also capable of withstanding peak pulse currents of up to 170A, providing effective protection against potentially damaging voltage spikes. The 1KSMB39A is designed to be fast-acting, protecting the circuit from transients in as little as 1 nano-second.

The 1KSMB39A is designed for use in a wide variety of applications. It can be used as a voltage regulator in power circuits, or as a protection device in telecommunications and medical equipment. It can be used to protect against lightning strikes or any other form of electrical surge. It can also be used in consumer electronics to protect sensitive components from voltage spikes and surges.

In terms of its working principle, the 1KSMB39A works by clamping voltage at a predetermined level. This allows it to shunt the voltage spike or surge away from the circuit, providing effective protection. It does this by relying on the Zener diode to provide a reverse current and reduce the voltage to a safe level. This helps protect sensitive components like microprocessors, LCDs, and LEDs from damage.

The 1KSMB39A is a secure and reliable way to protect your equipment and circuitry from voltage spikes and surges. Its design is simple and effective, providing excellent protection with a minimum of components. Its fast response time and wide operating range makes it an ideal solution for power systems, telecommunications, medical equipment, and consumer electronics applications.
