The 1N5660A is an ultra-fast unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode. It is mainly used for preventing transient voltage surge and is widely used in various electronic equipment, such as electronic measurement instruments, PLCs, computers, communication systems, etc. Its stable performance has been recognized and widely used in aerospace, telecommunications, medicine, automotive and other fields.

The 1N5660A is a low capacitance diode with a fast response to transient voltage surge, making it an ideal choice for protecting valuable electronic components. It has a wide voltage range and temperature range, and has a high surge capacity of 600 watts per line. In addition, the 1N5660A has a wide operating temperature range of -55 to +150 °C (−67 to + 302 °F), making it suitable for applications in extreme environments. Moreover, the product is reliable, is RoHS compliant and is compliant with UL / CSA / VDE / CECC safety standards.

Similar to other TVS diodes, the 1N5660A is a Zener diode connected in parallel to a bipolar silicon avalanche diode. When the diode is connected to a power supply, the Zener diode acts as a voltage regulator to maintain a stable output voltage, while the bipolar silicon avalanche diode is ready to clamp any over-voltage surge, which controls the output voltage within the specified range. When the voltage exceeds the protection limit, the Zener diode and the avalanche diode will conduct. The avalanche diode will absorb the input energy to protect the system.

The 1N5660A is especially useful in protecting systems from transient overvoltage caused by external sources such as lightning strikes. The TVS diode provides both a Zener diode-based voltage regulator for Inrush Current Protection and an avalanche breakdown-based voltage regulator to protect against overvoltage transients. This makes it a highly effective solution for protecting electronic components from voltage transients due to lightning strikes, power line switching, inductive loads, or electrical line faults. The 1N5660A is available in a variety of packages, including surface mount, through-hole DIP, and SIP.

The 1N5660A is an excellent choice for protecting electronic equipment from transient voltage surge. It is made with high-quality materials and is RoHS compliant. Its high surge capacity of 600 watts per line and low capacitance make it suitable for use in a variety of applications. It has a wide voltage range and temperature range, and is compliant with safety standards such as UL, CSA, VDE and CECC. Additionally, the product is highly reliable and cost-effective.
