TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) is a two-port voltage surge protector that is typically used in power and signal lines to protect sensitive electronic devices from damage caused by ESD (electrostatic discharge), EFT (electrical fast transients), and lightning. AK3-066C-BP is a bidirectional, 40 Volt, 600 Watt pulse suppressor diode. It is a common diode component that is used in a variety of applications and electronic circuits, due to its impressive performance characteristics and wide availability.

Application Field of AK3-066C-BP

AK3-066C-BP is a highly versatile component and is used in a wide range of applications. It can be found in industrial and consumer electronics, automotive systems, equipment for radio communication, and various other applications requiring voltage protection from surges and transients.

This diode is particularly suitable for use in protection of data lines such as in Control Area Networks (CAN) and other digital buses, where the 400W peak pulse power rating of AK3-066C-BP can be used to effectively protect the data lines from transients voltage caused by ESD, EFT, and lightning. The diode is also used in power conditioning circuits, as well as in equipment where high-voltage and high-current spikes resulting in irregular power distribution occur.

Working Principle of AK3-066C-BP

The working principle of AK3-066C-BP is simple, but its effects are powerful. When exposed to a transient voltage, it conducts a current to dissipate the excess energy and protect the sensitive components from damage. For this purpose, the diode uses an avalanche breakdown to build up a high dynamic resistance within a few nanoseconds, and then breaks down again after the transient voltage has abated. This process is known as clamping and is an effective way to prevent the potential damage that can be caused by voltage spikes.

The diode’s impressive performance is the result of the controlled avalanche breakdown technology it uses. The diode is designed to cooperate with other components in order to provide maximum protection. The AK3-066C-BP has an ESD voltage rating of 25kV, a maximum transient energy dissipation of 400W, and a breakdown voltage of 40V. These features make it ideal for controlling fast transients and providing protection from ESD, EFT, and even lightning.

In addition, the diode features an “ultra-low” capacitance of 150pF for maximum performance in high-frequency applications and a low voltage drop of 200mV for maximum voltage regulation accuracy.

As a result, AK3-066C-BP is an effective and reliable transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode and it is used in a variety of applications for maximum protection. It is easy to use and its performance is highly dependable.
