AK10-240C belongs to the TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) - Diodes family. This component is designed to protect devices from transients, such as electrostatic discharge, induced by Lightning, which could otherwise cause damage to sensitive electronic equipment. AK10-240C is a unidirectional low-capacitance TVS diode with low leakage current. It is mainly used for data lines, automotive applications, and telecom applications.

The AK10-240C consists of two components: a zener diode and a PN junction diode. The zener diode is used to provide a voltage reference, while the PN junction diode acts like a regular diode, allowing current to flow in one direction. When a high voltage (overvoltage) is applied to the device, it causes the zener diode to begin conducting, triggering the avalanche breakdown of the PN junction diode, thus interrupting the current and preventing it from damaging sensitive electronic components.

The AK10-240C also has a low clamping voltage, which is the voltage at which the device begins to clamp the overvoltage and protect the equipment. This voltage is typically around 18V, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. In addition, this component has low capacitance, so it does not interfere with signal integrity. It also has low leakage current, so it does not draw too much current from the power source.

The AK10-240C is a versatile component with a range of applications, from data line protection to automotive and telecom protection. It is an ideal device to protect circuitry from transient overvoltage, and its low leakage current and low clamping voltage make it suitable for all kinds of applications. It is also very reliable and long-lasting, making it a great choice for protecting sensitive electronic components.
