1N4002GL-T

The 1N4002GL-T (TVS) diode is a single, general-purpose silicon rectifier. It is primarily used for power supply protection against over-voltage transients and transients on the data lines. It features high surge capability, fast response, and low reverse leakage.

Application Fields of 1N4002GL-T

1N4002GL-T diodes are mainly used in consumer electronics, medical, and industrial markets. They are mainly used to protect electronic components from voltage transients and over-voltage. They are often used to protect sensitive components such as CPUs, memory chips, and peripheral components like LCDs. They are also used to protect communication systems, especially those that use high-speed data transmission. In addition, 1N4002GL-T diodes are used to protect devices from over-voltage in automotive, aeronautical, and other applications.

Working Principle of 1N4002GL-T

1N4002GL-T diodes are components that rely on conduction of electric current in one direction. They are sensitive to the current and voltage levels in the circuit. If the current or voltage is too high, the diode will "clamp" the voltage or current, diverting some of the energy away from sensitive components. This can prevent damage to components due to short-term voltage/current spikes. A 1N4002GL-T diode is capable of withstanding peak inverse voltages (PIV) of 400V and transient energy of up to 1.2A.

Advantages of 1N4002GL-T

• High surge capability.
