A transient voltage suppressor (TVS) is an electronic component commonly used in industrial and consumer applications. What distinguishes it from other components is its ability to limit the voltage surge caused by lightning, electrostatic discharges, power shutdowns, or other events and prevent the flow of high voltage to other vulnerable components. B72500T8140S160 is a general purpose TVS diode providing transient protection for AC mains up to 250V. It is a robust, reliable, cost-effective solution against overvoltage transients.

Application Field

The B72500T8140S160 is ideal for many different applications. It can be used for suppressing voltage surges caused by lightning or other overvoltage events. It is also effective in protecting against power shutdowns and electrostatic discharge in both industrial and automotive sectors. This device is especially effective for providing transient protection for AC mains up to 250V. Furthermore, it is suitable for AC mains applications in the scope of IEC 60747-6-1 and IEC 60747-7-2.

Working Principle

The B72500T8140S160 has a multi-layer construction, with the two outer layers being a semiconductor die and a protection resistor. The semiconductor die is designed to reduce the voltage surge caused by transient events, while the protection resistor limits the current during these events. In addition, the device also offers excellent protection against almost all kinds of ESD and surge events.

When an overvoltage or transient event occurs, the B72500T8140S160 will act as a clamping mechanism, diverting the high voltage away from other components and limiting it to a safe level. This allows the device to protect the other components from damage caused by these events. Furthermore, the device will also act as a voltage regulator, regulating the voltage to a safe level when the overvoltage event occurs.

The B72500T8140S160 is a reliable, cost-effective solution that provides effective protection against overvoltage transients. It is suitable for a wide variety of applications and is designed to withstand voltage surges of up to 250V. It is also designed to tolerate ESD and surge events, thus providing a robust level of protection.
