CTLTVS12 TR

CTLTVS12 TR is one of the most powerful overvoltage protection devices available in the market today. It is a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVS) diode designed to provide superior overvoltage protection in lighting applications. It offers low on-state resistance, low power consumption, and high surge handling capability.CTLTVS12 TR’s primary function is to protect electrical circuits from short-term surge events, such as lightning strikes or powerline transients. It does this by quickly clamping the excess voltage and turning into a low-resistance path for the transient current to flow. This prevents the high voltage from damaging electrical components within the protected circuit.The CTLTVS12 TR is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including commercial and residential lighting, automotive ignition systems, and industrial equipment. It can also be used as an automotive start-stop system for vehicles that have a high speed start-stop cycle.The CTLTVS12 TR features two main elements: the avalanche diode and the zener diode. The avalanche diode is a p-n-p-n junction device that breaks down when the voltage across it exceeds its reverse breakdown voltage. This allows for a high frequency current pulse to be conducted, which quickly clamps the excess voltage and prevents it from damaging the protected circuit.The zener diode, on the other hand, is a p-n junction device that prevents the voltage from exceeding a certain level. It does this by allowing a low-level voltage to flow through it when the voltage exceeds its breakdown voltage. This ensures that the protected circuit is not exposed to the full strength of the overvoltage, thus preserving the longevity of its components.Overall, the CTLTVS12 TR is an ideal choice for overvoltage protection needs as it is designed to provide superior overvoltage protection in lighting applications as well as other applications. It is a reliable device with high surge handling capability and low power consumption, which makes it a great choice for any significant application.
