ESDALC6V1F2 Circuit Protection

TVS - Diodes

ESDALC6V1F2 is an acronym for Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Analogue Low-Capacitance (ALC) 6 Volt (V) 1 Farad (F) 2, which is a type of Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode that protects against Electro-Static Discharge (ESD). It is used to protect high-speed and high-density electronic devices, such as those found in wireless communication systems.

When an electro-static discharge occurs, a voltage spike is generated, which can cause damage to sensitive electronic components. ESDALC6V1F2 TVS Diodes are designed to absorb this voltage spike and protect electronic devices. This is accomplished by its low capacitance, allowing for a fast response time. The diode has a breakdown voltage of 6V and a maximum energy rating of 38 Joules.

The ESDALC6V1F2 is made up of two silicon diodes connected in mutual series. This creates a silicon avalanche breakdown effect when the voltage across these diodes exceed 6 volts, resulting in a high breakdown voltage and low impedance path to ground. This high breakdown voltage ensures that the device is able to withstand a greater ESD surge than a standard diode.

When the diode reaches its threshold lead, a large surge of current is created which is then dissipated through a low impedance path, suppressing the voltage surge. This prevents the voltage spike from reaching sensitive electronics and causing damage. The low capacitance enables a fast response time, ensuring optimal protection against high-speed and high-density electronic devices.

The ESDALC6V1F2 TVS Diodes are widely used in many applications including computers, telecommunication equipment, consumer electronics, and automotive electronics. These diodes offer an effective solution to protect sensitive electronic devices from the harmful effects of electro-static discharge.
