DFLT12A-7 Circuit Protection

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are capable of handling high instantaneous peak power of over 1 kW in short duration. They are efficient in providing protective functions related to electromagnetic interference in electronics systems. The DFLT12A-7 series of transient suppression diodes are specifically designed for use in high-reliability, commercial grade electronic equipment. Thesedevices have various applications in different fields such as telecommunications, consumer electronics, automotive, and personal computing.

Generally, TVS diodes use a combination of breakdown voltage and peak power clamping to protect sensitive components from excessive current peaks and voltage transients. This is why they are preferred over regular zener diodes or Polyfuses as they are more reliable and accurate. The DFLT12A-7 series is specially designed to provide excellent performanceright form the moment of installation.

Theworking principle behind the DFLT12A-7 series lies in the way it redirects, dissipates, and clamps high-energy transients. All in, these devices can provide response times of less than 1 ns.When an incoming transient exceeds the specified peak power rating, the device absorbs the excess current and clamps it to the breakdown voltage.This allows the circuit to remain safe from energy transients and continue to perform normally.

The main application field of the DFLT12A-7 series is in industrial and commercial settings. It finds application in a wide variety of equipment, from computers and servers, to communication and broadcasting systems. Additionally, these devices can be used to provide surge suppression in telecommunications equipment such as modems and fax machines

In order to ensure maximum life, the DFLT12A-7 series is rated with an intermittent-duty surge specification. This makes them a preferred choice when dealing with peak current capabilities. As these devices are capable of absorbing energy, they also provide an isolated grounding point, improving overall system performance.

Overall, theDFLT12A-7 series of transient suppression diodes provide a robust and reliable solution for protection against sudden energy transients. These devices offer excellent response times, and are reasonably priced, making them a popular choice for a variety of applications.
