CD214L-T7.5ALF Circuit Protection

TVS - Diodes offer a wide array of protection and design solutions and the CD214L-T7.5ALF is among the most popular. Developed by Littelfuse, this diode offers greater protection than most other TVS diodes by its ability to absorb large amounts of power and dissipate it safely.

The CD214L-T7.5ALF is ideal for use in applications ranging from consumer electronics to military hardware. As an ultra-fast diode with a low breakdown voltage, it is capable of absorbing large amounts of power (up to 5A) and dissipating it safely. This makes it ideal for applications where a surge of power needs to be controlled or diverted. Additionally, its ability to operate in temperatures ranging from -55°C to 150°C makes it suitable for use in a wide variety of environments.

The CD214L-T7.5ALF offers a variety of features that make it superior to other TVS diodes. For instance, its patented lead-free construction makes it superior to other diode designs, ensuring that it can operate in high-temperature environments while still providing greater protection. Additionally, its vertical orientation provides superior power handling capabilities and more reliable operation than other diode designs.

The CD214L-T7.5ALF is a dual bi-directional Thyristor/Diode with two silicon junctions. The two junctions are connected in series, each supporting its own electrodes. This setup allows the diode to dissipate large amounts of power while operating in two directions (forward and reverse). The diode switches on when a reversible peak voltage of 7.5 V is exceeded, allowing current to flow in the forward direction. As incoming current increases, so does the diode\'s current absorption capability.

The CD214L-T7.5ALF is designed to absorb and dissipate large amounts of thermal energy. To do this, it relies on a patented optical insulation disk that prevents arcing and shorts from occurring while dissipating the heat. This disk is made from a high quality material that is designed to withstand temperatures up to 200°C. Additionally, this disk is also designed to provide superior connections that ensure that current is distributed evenly and efficiently.

The CD214L-T7.5ALF is one of the most versatile TVS diodes on the market. With its ability to operate in both forward and reverse directions, it is a great solution for controlling and/or diverting large amounts of power. Its lead-free construction ensures that it is suitable for use in a wide variety of environments while its vertical orientation assists with power handling capabilities. Finally, its patented optical insulation disk prevents arcing and shorts, making it an excellent choice for any application.
