The B72520E0140K072 is a type of semiconductor device used for the transient voltage surge suppression. This device is part of the Unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) family and is sometimes referred to as an MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor).

TVS devices are used to protect low-voltage electronics from high-voltage spikes caused by external sources such as electric motors, radio waves, and lightning. They provide essential protection for sensitive electronics, ensuring reliable operation and reducing the possibility of damage caused by power surges. They’re designed to protect information and communication systems, audio and video equipment, industrial applications, and automotive electronics.

The B72520E0140K072 is a unidirectional device that is typically used when overvoltage transients occur from the protected components, for example a power supply, towards the protected component, for example a processor. The B72520E0140K072 is designed to limit high transient voltages to a voltage rating of 1.4kV and allows the device to be integrated into space-saving board-level protection solutions.

The device works on the principle of voltage diverting. It contains a zener diode within its semiconductor metal oxide that is designed to divert voltage in the event of a surge. This type of device is ideal for limiting voltage transients since it can rapidly switch on and conduct current from the surge. When current passes through the diode, it releases a spark which is dissipated as heat energy, effectively absorbing the surge.

The B72520E0140K072 is a robust device that has been tested to meet the requirements of UL, CSA, EN, TUV, and IEC standards, and has a peak impulse current of 40A (8/20µs). It is available in a SOT-23 package with a breakdown voltage of 1.4kV, a maximum on-state voltage of 6V, and a peak pulse power dissipation of 3.2 W.

The B72520E0140K072 is an important device to consider when developing a system that needs protection from voltage transients as it can quickly and efficiently respond to voltage spikes. Its integrated zener diode allows the device to divert the voltage to protect sensitive electronics, and its ratings ensure that it is suitable for a range of applications.
