DF2S6.8SC(TPL3)

A transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode is an electrical component that is used for protecting electronic circuits from voltage spikes. The DF2S6.8SC (TPL3) is a common type of TVS diode that is used for protecting sensitive electronic circuits from overvoltage. It is widely used in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, industrial electronics, medical devices, and other applications.

In simple terms, a TVS diode is a type of diode that is designed to provide protection against transient electrical surges. It helps protect against overvoltage or spikes by allowing the current to flow in one direction only. The DF2S6.8SC (TPL3) is designed for overvoltage protection and has a peak pulse power dissipation rating of 845 watts. It works by absorbing the energy of an overvoltage spike and dissipating it as heat.

The DF2S6.8SC (TPL3) is a silicon diode with a reverse breakdown voltage of 6.8 volts. It offers a peak reverse surge current of 24.8 amperes with a pulse duration of 8 microseconds. It features a low-reverse bias breakdown voltage of 4.5 volts and a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.63 volts. It has a fast response time and can absorb up to 500 watts of power.

The DF2S6.8SC (TPL3) TVS diode is used in a variety of different electronic circuit applications. It can be used to protect automotive circuits from overvoltage, High-Resolution Video (HRV) systems from ESD (electrostatic discharge), and cell towers from lighting strikes. It is also used in mobile phone charging circuits, automotive ignition systems, and even in home air conditioning systems. It is designed to provide maximum circuit protection from overvoltage and has a UL, TUV, and RoHS certification.

The working principle of the DF2S6.8SC (TPL3) is quite simple. When an overvoltage event occurs, the diode acts as a short, allowing current to flow through it. This immediately dissipates the energy of the voltage spike, providing protection to the sensitive components of the circuit from damage. Once the spike is over, the diode reverts back to its original state.

The DF2S6.8SC (TPL3) TVS diode is a highly reliable and efficient component for protecting electronic circuits from overvoltage. It is a popular choice for automotive, consumer electronic, and other electronic applications. With its fast response time and low reverse bias breakdown voltage, it offers maximum protection from voltage spikes.
