DF6D7M1N,LF

TVS - Diodes, or Transient Voltage Suppressors, consists of specialized diodes developed to protect against voltage transients induced by lightning and electrostatic discharge. They are widely used in electrical circuits to protect sensitive equipment and components from voltage transients. The main components used in the construction of TVS are the semiconductor diode, along with a metal oxide film overlay that forms the body of the diode. When the transient voltage passes through the diode, the voltage is instantly clamped to a safe level.DF6D7M1N and LF are two different TVS series available. DF6D7M1N is designed for applications in the automotive industry such as powertrain control modules, engines, hybrid/electric vehicle drive systems, and other automotive electronic systems that require robust and reliable surge protection. On the other hand, LF series is designed for fixed electronics, including home/building automation, HVAC, security systems, communications, networking, telecommunications and other control systems.DF6D7M1N can withstand transient voltage surges up to 8.2 kilovolts and LF can protect devices from high voltage surges up to 6 kilovolts. The DF6D7M1N and LF have different mechanisms of operation when it comes to dissipating the transient voltage. The DF6D7M1N uses a chattering-effect diode with a zener diode making it ideal for protecting powertrain control modules, engines, hybrid/electric vehicle drive systems, and other automotive electronic systems. On the other hand, the LF series protection devices use silicon avalanche diode technology, which provide a clamping voltage of 4.2V and a discharge current of 7A.Both series are UL approved and have passed higher-than-standard ratings for reverse leakage current and peak pulse current per JEDEC. The DF6D7M1N and LF devices also feature speed-up technology, allowing them to respond to transient voltages in microseconds. Furthermore, both series can operate over a wide range of temperatures and humidity conditions.In conclusion, DF6D7M1N and LF are two different series of TVS diodes designed for different applications and for different levels of voltage protection. DF6D7M1N can handle transient voltage up to 8.2 kilovolts and LF up to 6 kilovolts. They both feature speed-up technology, operate over a wide range of temperatures and humidity, and are UL approved. They are the ideal choice for providing effective lightning and surge protection for sensitive electronic devices.
