TVS - Diodes

A transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode, also known as a clamp diode, is a device used to protect vulnerable electronic gear from damage due to electrostatic discharges (ESDs) and voltage transients. It is a general-purpose, unidirectional, three-terminal voltage-restraining device.

1V5KE250CA

The 1V5KE250CA is a silicon bidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode designed for surge and ESD protection. This device can withstand a maximum reverse voltage of 250 volts, and it can dissipate 1500 W peak power per line. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including PCBs, cable assemblies, telecom/datacom connections, and consumer appliances.

Application Field

The 1V5KE250CA is designed to protect sensitive electronics from the damages caused by electrostatic discharges, as well as voltage transients such as those caused by power surges and lightning strikes. It is suitable for both consumer and industrial applications that require surge protection. It can be used in PCBs, cable assemblies, telecom/datacom connections, consumer appliances, medical equipment, and more.

Working Principle

The 1V5KE250CA works by clamping the voltage across its terminals to a safe level. It is composed of two sections: a PN-junction diode and a Zener diode. The PN-junction diode acts like a switch, responding to the positive or negative voltage polarity. When there is an excessive voltage of either polarity, the diode will switch on and clamp the voltage across its terminals to a safe level. The Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode, causing the device to conduct in both the forward and reverse directions. This function makes the device bidirectional and effective for protecting against electrostatic discharges and voltage transients.

Conclusion

The 1V5KE250CA transient voltage suppressor diode is an ideal device for effectively protecting sensitive electronics from damages caused by electrostatic discharges and voltage transients. Its wide range of application fields makes it suitable for a variety of consumer and industrial applications. It works by clamping the voltage across its terminals to a safe level, and its bidirectional function makes it effective in protecting against both positive and negative polarity.
