TVS - Diodes are widely used in the electronic industry to protect circuits against dangerous voltage transients. Designed to provide reliable protection in a wide range of voltage environments, TVS - Diodes form a crucial part of any circuit, be it used for medical, consumer, automotive, industrial, power or communications applications. The CD214A-T8.5ALF is a representative of such diode protection devices and is one of the most commonly used in the market.

CD214A-T8.5ALF stands for Ceramic Disc 2.14mm (8.5A) Lead Free, and is a non-polar axial-leaded diode that works according to the Avalanche Breakdown process. This process can be explained as follows. When an electric field of a certain density is applied to a semiconductor, the current rapidly increases and consequently the voltage drops; this event is referred to as Avalanche Breakdown.

Such diodes are designed to limit the voltage between the anode and cathode to a specific level, and when this level is exceeded, they are able to carry the surge current and divert it safely away from the protected device without causing any damage. The CD214A-T8.5ALF has a low capacitance, leakage current, and fast response time, which makes it ideal for protecting against common-mode transients that may be generated by electrostatic discharge or lightning events.

The CD214A-T8.5ALF is also designed for high surge capability and is capable of handling high current transient over voltages up to 8000V. It offers over current and over voltage protection, as well as electronic noise filtering. It has a very low static capacitance of 2.2pF, and its maximum peak pulse power is 1250 Watts.

Typically, such diodes are used for protecting various devices ranging from consumer electronics like cell phones, laptops, and cameras, to industrial and medical equipment. Some typical applications of CD214A-T8.5ALF include ESD protection in Power over Ethernet networks, over voltage protection for low speed peripherals, low capacitance protection for high speed data interfaces, and overvoltage protection for DC input ports.

In conclusion, the CD214A-T8.5ALF TVS - Diode is a reliable electronic component which can be used in a variety of applications to protect against voltage and current transients. With low capacitance and fast response time, this diode can provide excellent protection for electronic devices.
