3KASMC24HE3/57T

Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS), also known as clamp diodes, are a key component of protection circuits against overvoltage transients in electrical systems. They have a wide variety of applications, from consumer electronics to automotive components and many more.

The 3KASMC24HE3/57T is a popular model of TVS diode designed to protect sensitive electronics from overvoltage transients. It is an unidirectional device, meaning that it only conducts current in one direction and can absorb energy from the transients in the opposite direction without allowing it to reach sensitive components. The 3KASMC24HE3/57T has a low clamping voltage (V_clamp) of 24V, a low leakage current of 100nA, and a maximum operating current of 8A.

The 3KASMC24HE3/57T finds many applications in the automotive industry, computer electronics, and a variety of other industries and applications where unprotected circuits may be vulnerable to transient voltages. Examples include automotive in-cabin electronics, computer power boards, control boards, and many more. In addition to protecting sensitive components from overvoltages, the diode also helps reduce power supply noise, and can act as an ESD protection device.

The 3KASMC24HE3/57T is a transient voltage suppressor with an avalanche-rated breakdown voltage. This means that the diode is designed to withstand very high peak voltages, up to 6000V. This makes it suitable for a variety of high voltage applications, such as protection of automotive in-cabin equipment and other automotive electronics, and in control equipment and power supplies.

The working principle of the 3KASMC24HE3/57T is very simple. When a voltage transient above the lowest breakdown voltage of the device is detected, the diode will switch on and start to absorb the excess energy. This prevents the excess energy from entering the protected circuits, thus preventing damage. The 3KASMC24HE3/57T is also designed with a reverse clamping voltage of 24V, meaning that the voltage is clamped at 24V regardless of the magnitude of the overvoltage transient.

In conclusion, the 3KASMC24HE3/57T is a popular model of TVS diode with many applications in the automotive and computer electronics fields. It is designed to protect sensitive components from overvoltage transients, reduce power supply noise, and provide ESD protection. The 3KASMC24HE3/57T works by switching on and absorbing excess energy from transient voltages above its lowest breakdown voltage, thus preventing damage to the protected circuits.
