1SMC60A TR13 Circuit Protection

TVS Diodes are a form of surge protection that is used to protect valuable electronics from power-induced damage. The 1SMC60A TR13 is a series of TVS Diodes made by Unisonic Technologies that can be used in applications where power surges or over-voltages can be present and require protection. The 1SMC60A TR13 is a Thyristor or Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) that can be used to protect power supplies and other electronic circuits from any voltage surges, thereby providing protection from the damaging effects of overvoltage and spikes.

The 1SMC60A TR13 is a Thyristor with an electro static discharge (ESD) current level of 9A peak and a low capacitance of 3pF in order to allow the device to be used in high-speed applications such as PCs and workstations. The 1SMC60A TR13 is a dual-gate device with two control gates for fast response time and higher accuracy. The device has an operating voltage range of 1.8V to 18V and a power dissipation rating of 300 mW.

The 1SMC60A TR13 can be used in a wide range of applications where over-voltage protection is required. These applications can range from household electronics, automotive electronics, mobile phone electronics, consumer and industrial electronic systems, and communications and networking systems. It can also be used in isolated power supply units, military equipment, medical equipment, and aerospace applications.

The working principle of the 1SMC60A TR13 is based on its ability to suppress transient voltage pulses. It does this by allowing a low-impedance path to be established between its anode and cathode. When a transient voltage event occurs, the 1SMC60A TR13 conducts, dissipating the energy of the transient voltage pulse and protecting the circuit from damage.

The 1SMC60A TR13 has excellent surge handling capability with a unidirectional peak pulse power and current rating of 600W and 24000A, and a bidirectional peak pulse power and current rating of 300W and 12000A. The device can also handle narrow serge pulses with an ESD clamp voltage of 11V. The 1SMC60A TR13 is suitable for a wide range of applications requiring robust over-voltage protection.
