ESDAXLC5-1U2 Circuit Protection

Transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes are components designed to protect vulnerable electronic components from spikes and surges of circuitry. The ESDAXLC5-1U2 is one such diode, designed for factory automation and motor control applications. Combining ESD protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD) with high-current surge and surge protection, the ESDAXLC5-1U2 is the perfect choice for safety-critical systems.

The ESDAXLC5-1U2 diode is a double diode, equipped with two diodes in one package. This allows for use in dual-rail circuitry, and with two diodes in one package it is possible to save on board space. The package is rated for 8 A (peak) and 15 A (peak). The ESDAXLC5-1U2 diode is also well-suited for usage in other safety-critical systems such as automotive systems, medical equipment, and many applications requiring high ESD protection.

The principle of the ESDAXLC5-1U2 is to protect systems from transient voltage and current events. The diode works by intercepting the transient voltage, then clamping it and dissipating it as heat. This prevents the voltage from reaching dangerous levels. This is achieved by using two diodes which alternately pass current, allowing for current to be clamped at two levels. The design also allows for improved thermal performance, which allows for better surge protection and higher surge capability than other TVS diodes.

The ESDAXLC5-1U2 diode is ideal for applications requiring robust ESD protection and surge support. These include factory automation, motor controls, and many medical applications. The dual diodes can provide enhanced protection against transient voltage surges and ESD, and the improved thermal performance allows for greater surge capability.

The ESDAXLC5-1U2 is a powerful, reliable diode that can provide superior surge protection and ESD protection to any safety-critical system. With its dual-rail design, thermal performance, and high peak current rating, it is an ideal solution for any application requiring high ESD and surge protection.
