TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diodes provide an additional level of protection for electronic circuits against transient and ESD (electrostatic discharge) related overvoltages. The 1KSMBJ27CA is a general purpose TVS diode designed to protect voltages from 5-30V and stop currents up to 5A.
Application Field
The 1KSMBJ27CA is ideal for applications such as computer and telecom equipment, printers, displays, automotive components, consumer electronics, and gaming consoles. It can be used to protect sensitive components from transient and ESD related events. It is designed to provide fast and accurate protection against transient and ESD overvoltages for exposed and internal circuitry.
Working Principle
The 1KSMBJ27CA works by clamping the overvoltage and redirecting it to ground through the diode, thus providing protection for the sensitive components. The device has a low capacitance level which ensures a fast response time and a low total clamping over-voltage.
To ensure the device is safe and reliable, it is tested against ESD and over-voltage events. The device is also designed to have very low dynamic and static leakage current. It is packaged in a SOD-123 rectangular package which is suitable for surface-mount applications.
The 1KSMBJ27CA is a popular device among electronics designers because of its high level of protection, fast response time, low capacitance and low leakage current. It is a great way to provide fast and accurate protection against transient and ESD overvoltages for exposed and internal circuitry.
