1N6289A-E3/54

TVS - Diodes

The 1N6289A-E3/54 is a TVS diode, which stands for Transient Voltage Suppressor diode. This device has been designed for the specific purpose of clamping the peak power transients produced by voltage events. It is a well-known and commonly used passive component.

A TVS diode consists of a semiconductor junction composed of two terminals, an anode and a cathode. When the voltage across the junction exceeds the rated voltage of the device, the diode will enter a conduction state. This will cause current to start flowing from the anode to the cathode, reducing the voltage across the junction and thus protecting the device or system from damage.

When the voltage across the junction returns to within its normal range, the diode will return to its non-conducting state. TVS diodes are commonly used to protect devices from voltage events such as electrostatic discharge, inductive fly back, lightning strike, and other power line disturbances.

Application Field and Working Principle

Typical applications of 1N6289A-E3/54 are in the automotive industry, power management, consumer electronics, industrial control, as well as telecommunications. This component is built with a low clamping voltage that allows it to be used in a wide array of electronic circuits. It also has a wide range of operating temperatures, which means it can be used in extreme environments.

The working principle of 1N6289A-E3/54 is that when the power surges in the system, it will start to conduct current from its anode to its cathode, thus reducing the voltage across the junction, while dissipating the current safely and protecting the system from further damage. This type of component is designed to withstand a rated maximum surge voltage, meaning it will not breakdown if the voltage surged exceeds its rated maximum, thus providing additional protection.

The 1N6289A-E3/54 is one of the most popular TVS diodes on the market today, and for good reason. It is a reliable, robust, and cost-effective component that is perfect for many different voltage protection applications.
