CD214L-T45ALF

CD214L-T45ALF Transorb components, or Transient Voltage Suppressing Diodes (TVS Diodes), are used to protect electronics from surges, spikes, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and lightning. As with all electrical components, one of the main principles of the CD214L-T45ALF application is understanding the differences between various types of TVS diodes.

The CD214L-T45ALF is an axial-lead TVS diode. Axial-lead diodes are comprised of two cylindrical lead wires that can be connected to a board. Out of the three main Types of TVS diodes (Radial Leaded, SMD, and Axial Leaded) Axial Lead Diodes are the most common. They offer valued benefits, such as easy installation and reliable heat dissipation.

The forward voltage (VF) is a measurement of the amount of voltage that is applied to the diode when it is conducting current. As the voltage increases, it eventually reaches the VF at which point current will stop flowing through the device. The CD214L-T45ALF comprises a VF of 45V, or lower. Additionally, this device is capable of handling up to 16A of current.

The clamping voltage (VC) is the voltage at which an overvoltage pulse is created. It is a way to protect against voltage spikes and surges. This device is comprised of a VC rating of 250V. The CD214L-T45ALF is commonly used in applications such as universal serial bus (USB) ports, personal computers (PCs), automotive electronics, and telecommunications products.

The CD214L-T45ALF additionally provides a working principle that delivers dependable, continuous performance. The working principle requires the safe discharge of high-energy pulse currents and provides inherent protection against damage caused by ESD and transients. The proprietary construction of the device also provides excellent thermal stability over varying environmental conditions.

These devices are ideal for applications that require reliable, long-term protection from surges and transients. The CD214L-T45ALF can easily be connected to a PCB and helps deliver superior ESD immunity and enhanced thermal dissipation. The superior thermal and ESD protection offered by this device makes it ideal for automotive, communications, consumer electronics and home appliance markets.

In conclusion, the CD214L-T45ALF Transorb component is a TVS diode designed to provide reliable ESD and thermal protection. It is comprised of a forward voltage (VF) rating of 45V or lower and offers a clamping voltage (VC) rating of 250V. This device also provides a working principle that safely discharges high-energy pulse currents. The CD214L-T45ALF offers superior thermal and ESD protection making it suitable for a wide variety of applications, including USB ports, PCs, automotive electronics, and telecommunications products.
