Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes are specialized types of diodes, that are used to protect sensitive equipment from voltage surges and other overvoltage situations. TVS Diode 1N6371 is one such device, which offers good protection in applications like AC/DC, industrial, medical, consumer, and automotive fields, from voltage transients and power surges, at an acceptable level of cost.

1N6371 TVS diode consists of a single diode, inside a SOD-123 SMT plastic package. The device has Stand-off Voltage of 5.6 Volts, with Peak Power Dissipation of 600W. As for its Capacitance value, it is 6 pF.

Typically, TVS diodes are used in various applications like surge-rated phone lines, Ethernet ports, automotive, and peripheral interface of Computer Motherboards, and also in Audio and Video equipments. In the context of 1N6371, most common applications include consumer electronics, motor control, industrial monitoring, medical electronics, appliances, USB supply lines, and communication ports.

Working principle of this TVS diode is based on a simple observation that different materials have different electric resistivities or electrical conductivity. Thus, if the voltage across the diode exceeds a certain limit, the diode offers a very high resistance and suppresses any further increase in voltage. This voltage suppression capability of the diode can be used to protect sensitive equipment from voltage spikes or surges.

Whenever a potential voltage is encountered, the diode will start to conduct. This will effectively short out the voltage across the device and reduce or completely eliminate the occurrence of overvoltage and associated destructive effects. The forward voltage drop of 1N6371 diode is very low, in the order of 0.2 - 0.3V.

The presence of a built-in resistance in the diode helps avoid unnecessary voltage fluctuations and also limits the peak voltage allowed to reach the delicate components. In summary, 1N6371 Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) Diode is an ideal protection device against voltage transients and power surges in different applications across multiple industries.
