A TVS diode is an electrical component designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from overvoltage, ESD, and electrical transients. It is also known as a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode, transient voltage protection diode (TVPD), or a spike stopper. The AK15-058C-12 is a type of TVS diode. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of this diode.

Application Field

The AK15-058C-12 is designed for use in applications where high levels of transient over voltage are present. It is typically used in automotive, telecommunications, industrial, and military applications. Specifically, it is suitable for protecting sensitive electronic components from ESD strikes, electrostatic discharge, lightening, power surges, and voltage spikes. It can also be used in voltage clamping and low-voltage/non-damaging suppression applications.

Working Principle

The AK15-058C-12 diode works by quickly clamping voltages above its peak working voltage. This is why it is referred to as a “transient voltage suppressor”. When an over voltage occurs, the diode will clamp the voltage near its peak working voltage and sink the excess energy away as heat. This allows it to protect sensitive components from over voltage and transient voltage events.

The AK15-058C-12 diode is a three-layer, high speed device and features a low Leakage Current, high ESD Immunity, and fast switching times. It is also capable of handling peak power levels of up to 15A and withstands transient currents of up to 12A. It has a peak working voltage of 14V and is able to provide a response time of up to 10ns, making it well-suited for high speed applications.

The diode is also designed for use in temperature-sensitive applications due to its low reverse leakage current and high ESD Immunity grades. Furthermore, it has a low clamping voltage, making it suitable for protecting sensitive components from voltage transients.

In addition, the AK15-058C-12 diode features an insulated housing, allowing it to be directly soldered to the circuit board and ensuring safe operation.

Overall, the AK15-058C-12 diode offers superior protection against ESD and overvoltage events. Its wide range of features make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications, particularly those requiring fast response times and superior ESD immunity.
