3.0SMCJ120CATR

TVS-Diodes are a type of transient voltage suppression diode, commonly used for over-voltage protection against transient voltage spikes in electronic systems. These diodes have a wide range of applications and are used for various purposes. The 3.0SMCJ120CATR is one such diode, which can be used for protecting electrical and electronic circuits from a wide range of over-voltage conditions.

A 3.0SMCJ120CATR diode is a triple junction avalanche breakdown diode. It is constructed using three active layers, each connected to two electrodes and encapsulated in a low-capacity ceramic body. The proprietary design of the diode ensures excellent surge current handling capabilities and superior protection against a wide range of over-voltage conditions. The diode is also available in different sizes and packages, which helps in customizing the application.

These diodes have a wide application field. They are used in various industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, telecommunications, power supplies, and instrumentation. The diodes can be used to protect electrical and electronic circuits from high-voltage transients such as electromagnetic energy, electrostatic discharge, lightning, and other fast transients. They also protection circuits from unintended high voltage operation, malfunctions, and mishandling. In addition, they are used to protect against voltage spikes caused by short circuits or some other transient events.

The working principle of 3.0SMCJ120CATR diodes is based on the breakdown of the inter-junction barriers. When the applied voltage across the diode exceeds the breakdown voltage of the anode-cathode junction, the junction barrier breaks down and the avalanche current flows. This avalanche current is the equivalent of the surge current, which helps protect the electronic systems from high voltage transient pulses. This protection is further enhanced by the low-capacity ceramic body, which helps absorb some of the high energy. Thus, the 3.0SMCJ120CATR helps protect electronic systems from high voltage transient pulses.

The 3.0SMCJ120CATR is a versatile diode that offers excellent surge current handling capabilities. It can be used in a wide range of applications and helps protect electronic systems from high voltage transients. These diodes are widely used and have a wide range of applications in various industries.
