CN0805L8G

The CN0805L8G is a Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) device. It is part of a family of devices designated by the generic term suppressors and serves as a protective device to protect sensitive electronic components against electrical overstress. This device, like other suppressors, works by clamping or shunt the electrical energy associated with overvoltage transients so as to protect the system from destructive overvoltage conditions.

TVS devices generally consist of a Zener diode connected in parallel with a protected circuit. When a transient voltage occurs, the Zener diode is triggered and immediately begins to conduct. This reduces the voltage to a safe level. If a high current overload is present, the protected circuit will be unaffected.

The CN0805L8G is designed to protect a variety of electronic equipment from overvoltage transients. It is typically used for telecom, data processing, and similar industrial applications. It is also used in consumer electronics, such as computers, cell phones, and televisions. The device has an 8V differential voltage and a 10A minimum breakdown current rating.

The CN0805L8G utilizes a “non-linear” design, utilizing a combination of both linear and non-linear protection characteristics. This provides a more effective protection solution than conventional MOVs, which are limited to a linear response. The device also has a low capacitance parameter and is able to provide its full protection even in highly capacitive circuits. Additionally, it is temperature compensated which helps to ensure reliable operation in extreme temperatures.

The CN0805L8G is also very easy to install. It is available in a range of packages, from surface mount to through-hole. This allows for a wide range of installation options. Additionally, the device is rated to cover a wide temperature range, from -40 to +125°C. This makes it suitable for use in harsh environments.

In summary, the CN0805L8G is an excellent TVS device which provides superior protection than conventional MOVs. It is also highly versatile, as it can be used in a wide range of applications and environments. Additionally, the device is easy to install and can provide reliable operation over a wide temperature range.
