824520111 Circuit Protection

TVS, or transient voltage suppressors, are a type of diode specifically designed to protect electronic circuits from high voltage transients. A TVS diode, also known as a clamping diode, works by shunting excess current away from the protected component when an overvoltage condition occurs. TVS diodes provide transient protection by redirecting the current through another circuit and suppressing the overvoltage condition. The 824520111 TVS diode is a unidirectional or bidirectional diode that works in the same manner as other TVS diodes.

The 824520111 TVS diode is a surface-mount type and is made from an aluminum alloy. It is very small, measuring only 0.25mm in length, making it perfect for use in portable and other size-limited applications. The diode has a peak power dissipation of 3 watts and a maximum peak power rating of 500 watts. It also features a low capacitance of 0.5pF and a low leakage current of 0.1mA.

The 824520111 TVS diode is suitable for a variety of applications, including surge protection for power transmission lines, cellular base stations, and PLC systems; protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD) in personal electronics; and protection of snubber circuits for high-voltage relays. The diode is also well-suited for use in automotive networks and home entertainment systems.

TVS diodes work by conducting excess current away from the protected circuit when an overvoltage condition is detected. The formula for the working voltage of a Schottky diode is: Vw = U * (1-0.1/n) The working voltage for 824520111 is U = 16.3V, and n = 1. As such, its working voltage is: Vw = 16.3V * (1-0.1/1) = 14.6V.

In summary, the 824520111 is a unidirectional or bidirectional TVS diode that provides surge protection for power transmission lines, cellular base stations, and PLC systems; protection from ESD in personal electronics; and protection of snubber circuits for high-voltage relays. It has a peak power dissipation of 3 watts and a maximum peak power rating of 500 watts. It also features a low capacitance of 0.5pF and a low leakage current of 0.1mA. Additionally, its working voltage is calculated as 14.6V.
