TVS - Diodes

TVS or transil diode is a special type of diode where applied voltage across p-n junction is always quite lower than the voltage level of maximum junction breakdown voltage. This diode has a dynamic breakdown mechanism which can protect sensitive equipment from surges and spikes in voltage. 1PMT30AT1G is a type of TVS diode which can handle high surge currents of up to 30A making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Application Fields

1PMT30AT1G TVS diode can be used in various application fields including automotive, power, instrumentation, and consumer electronics. For automotive related applications, it can be used to protect against high voltage transients like inductive loads, relays, ECUs, DC-DC converter, fuel pumps, and more. In the consumer electronics field, 1PMT30AT1G can protect various electrical equipment from overvoltage transients and can be used for power supplies, data lines, memory circuits, and many other products. In the power industry, it can be used in the protection of control systems, data acqusition systems, and communication systems. It can also be used in instruments for overvoltage protection of capacitive or inductive loads as well as power amplifier protection.

Working Principle

1PMT30AT1G TVS diode works by limiting the voltage to a safe level in case of an overvoltage or transient. This diode connects between the power source and the load, and the load current is connected perpendicularly to the diode. When an overvoltage or transient is applied to the circuit, the current flows through the diode and is diverted in the opposite direction to the source and the load. This diverts the current and reduces the overvoltage generated. The maximum surge current that can be handled by the diode is determined by the Power Clamp voltage of the diode.

Conclusion

1PMT30AT1G is a TVS diode which can be used for a wide range of applications in automotive, power, instrumentation, and consumer electronics. It works by redirecting the overvoltage current to reduce the voltage level. This makes it suitable for protecting sensitive electronic equipment from overvoltage transients. It has a maximum surge current of 30A which makes it suitable for high current applications.
