CD214L-T70CALF

A transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode is a type of diode designed to protect sensitive electronic components and electric circuits from high-voltage electrical transients. The TVS diode can absorb electrical energy associated with a transient and quickly redirect it to ground or another designated point. The CD214L-T70CALF is an example of a TVS diode specially designed for industrial applications.

The CD214L-T70CALF is an unidirectional device, meaning it will only allow current to flow in one direction. It is constructed from semiconductor materials and consists of a junction between materials with different energy bands. One material is an N-type semiconductor, which is positively charged, and the other is a P-type semiconductor, which is negatively charged. When a voltage transient greater than the breakdown voltage is applied to the diode, the diode switches to a high-conducting state and allows current to flow in one direction from cathode to anode. This process is referred to as avalanche breakdown.

The CD214L-T70CALF is designed for industrial applications, with a reverse breakdown voltage of 70V and a stand off voltage of 45V. It features a low leakage current (1 μA max) and a maximum operating temperature of 125°C. The diode is suitable for use in power supplies, motor drive circuits, and switching power Supply Circuits. It can also be used to protect sensitive circuits such as micro-processors and logic circuits against voltage transients caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI).
