1SMB160AT3G

TVS-Diodes are a type of electronic components used to protect against surges in electrical current. They are also referred to as Transient Voltage-Suppressors or Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors. The 1SMB160AT3G device is a particular TVS-Diode that is widely used in a variety of fields and applications due to its level of reliability and efficiency.

This diode is particularly useful in Automotive applications as it helps to protect the internal electrical components from a transient voltage surge produced by an external source or simulated source. The 1SMB160AT3G has a Reverse Stand-Off Voltage of 10 volts and a Power Clamping Voltage of 160 volts. This makes it ideal for Automotive electrical systems which often operate at higher voltages than other electrical systems.

The 1SMB160AT3G is also used in various Industrial and Commercial applications for both surge protection and EMI protection. It is designed to provide a low-impedance path for transient overvoltage events, thereby reducing the time and extent of the event. Additionally, the 1SMB160AT3G can handle significant surge currents in both its current waveform and current duration, allowing it to outperform many other similar-sized TVS-Diodes.

The 1SMB160AT3G also finds application in Telecommunications, Satellite, and Cable TV systems, as it is able to offer protection against lightning surges and other transient voltage events. The device is capable of withstanding significant levels of transient currents, allowing it to effectively protect these systems from any surges, helping to ensure a reliable signal is maintained.

The 1SMB160AT3G works on the principle of controlling transient overvoltage events and clamping them to a safe and predetermined level. It consists of two main parts; a Zener diode which acts as the main voltage regulator, and a protection diode which is designed to provide additional protection against high surge currents. When a transient voltage event occurs, the Zener diode conducts current, allowing the voltage to be quickly reduced and diverted away from the system. At the same time, the protection diode limits the amount of current flowing through, ensuring the system is not overloaded.

In conclusion, the 1SMB160AT3G is a high-performance TVS-Diode which offers a reliable and efficient way of protecting electrical systems from transient voltage events. Its wide range of applications, including Automotive, Industrial, Commercial, Computer, Telecommunications, Satellite, and Cable TV systems, make it an ideal choice for many kinds of applications.
