The 3KASMC17AHM3_B/H is categorized as a Transient Voltage Suppressor, or TVS diode. This type of device limits or clips sudden changes in voltages and is designed to protect electronic circuit components, such as power ICs, from overvoltage and overcurrent damage.

In 2020, 3KASMC17AHM3_B/H diode was formulated specifically for automotive electronic systems, which have requirements for higher performance and reliability in changing environments. In these applications, the 3KASMC17AHM3_B/H diode outperforms traditional TVS diodes by providing an effective alternative solution to protect against voltage and current transients. The 3KASMC17AHM3_B/H provides superior protection for PCBs, power systems, and other electronics.

Application field

The 3KASMC17AHM3_B/H diode is designed to protect automotive electronics systems from voltage spikes that could damage components and lead to system malfunctions. It has a wide range of applications including on-board computers, circuit boards, automotive sensing systems, embedded systems, power management systems, controllers, and other electronic devices. It is suitable for harsh automotive environments with high temperature ranges, high vibration requirements, and high humidity.

Working Principle

The 3KASMC17AHM3_B/H diode works by routing a portion of the surge current away from the protected device to ground. It is an excellent TVS diode for transient voltage suppression as it has a low response time, a low dynamic resistance, and is designed with a fold back that trips the circuit and limits current with certain levels of overvoltage or overcurrent. This provides the highest grade of protection for the system.

The 3KASMC17AHM3_B/H diode is designed to withstand intense overloads without resulting in permanent damage. It breaks down under extreme applied voltages and starts to conduct in the reverse direction, diverting surge current away from the protected device and thus providing overvoltage protection and even current limitation. This prevents damage and reduces component failure, resulting in minimal maintenance costs and improved system reliability.

The 3KASMC17AHM3_B/H diode’s ability to protect against extreme overloads helps to extend the life of the electronic system and lower the total cost of ownership. Its wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for different automotive application scenarios. In addition, it provides superior reliability under extreme environmental conditions thanks to its low dynamic resistance.

In summary, the 3KASMC17AHM3_B/H is a highly reliable TVS diode designed for automotive electronic system applications that require extremely high levels of protection from voltage spikes and overcurrents. It has a wide operating temperature range and low dynamic resistance, which makes it capable of providing reliable protection against overloads.
