TVS – Diodes

TVS or Transient Voltage Suppressing Diodes, also known as surge suppressors, are used to protect various electrical systems and components against excessive surges and peak voltages. They are commonly used in automotive and consumer electronics applications and can be found in a variety of forms.

3KASMC13AHM3_A/H is a typical TVS diode. It can handle high surge current and also shield the system against electrostatic discharges resulting from static electricity. This diode has a wide operating temperature range and can withstand extreme temperatures.

The 3KASMC13AHM3_A/H application field and working principle is explained as follows:

Application Fields

• Automotive applications: 3KASMC13AHM3_A/H can be used in vehicles’ electrical systems to protect the system against the damage delivered by the power surges or electrostatic discharges.
• Consumer electronics: 3KASMC13AHM3_A/H can be used in consumer electronics products to block off any excessive surge or peak voltages passing through the system.

Working Principle

The principle of operation for TVS diodes is similar to that of a Zener diode, where the diode “clamps” the voltage to a certain level. When a surge voltage exceeds this level, the diode is activated and works to limit the voltage to a safe level. This mechanism is also known as “clamping.”

To be more specific, when the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the diode, it begins to conduct. The diode then works to clip the voltage to a certain level, depending on the diode rating, and can dissipate the surge energy by generating heat.

When selecting the correct TVS diode for the particular application, the device should be selected for the maximum current carrying capacity and the maximum breakdown voltage, with the factors of temperature, polarity and packaging also taken into consideration.

In conclusion, TVS diodes are widely used in a variety of applications and can offer reliable protection against the sudden and damaging peak voltages. The 3KASMC13AHM3_A/H TVS diode offers a wide operating temperature range, high surge current protection, electrostatic discharge protection and a safe voltage clamping.
