Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes protect circuits for a wide range of over-voltage transients due to electro-static discharge and are widely used in all sorts of high-end applications. The 1N8160US TVS diode is a devices designed for over-voltage protection of sensitive components and circuits. Its datasheet outlines the specific features and details of the device.

The 1N8160US is a Uni-directional overvoltage protection device which features a glass passivated junction and a low leakage current. This device is offered in a very small form factor which is surface mountable, making it compatible with high density circuit board designs. The device is housed in a SOD-323 package and offers a reverse working voltage of 18 Volts and power dissipation of 500mW. The device also has a very fast response time, with a very low forward voltage drop and over 10Amperes peak pulse current rating.

The device is capable of helping suppress over-voltage transients in delicate circuits from destructive electro-static discharge and similar threats, both prior to and during the application of power. Its working principle is simple but highly effective. Upon a single pulse event, the diode is triggered and begins to move its structure into a forward-biased mode, resulting in a limited current conduction chain that enables a precise drop in output voltage, while blocking the unwanted voltage. It serves as a last line of defence to provide protection from these hazards.

In maintaining the integrity of components and circuits, 1N8160US is an ideal device to use. Its small package size allows it to be easily incorporated onto small to medium-sized circuit boards, and it offers excellent protection against transient incidents. It is perfect for a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to automotive electronics.

Overall, the 1N8160US is a powerful member of the range of TVS diodes. Its high peak current capacity, very low forward voltage drop, and small size make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications where over-voltage protection is a vital requirement.
