TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diodes, commonly known as protection diodes, are used to protect electronic components and ensure reliable circuit operation. The GL15T-HG3-18 is a TVS diode with a operating voltage of 18 volts and a peak pulse power dissipation of 8.25 watts. This diode is reliable and ideal for a wide range of applications.

Application Field & Working Principle

The GL15T-HG3-18 diode is designed to be used as a transient overvoltage protection component in various applications. It is often used in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics. This diode provides protection against transient overvoltages, typically the result of ESD (electrostatic discharge) or lightning events. An example of a common application for the GL15T-HG3-18 is to protect a circuit’s power supply from transient overvoltages.

The working principle of the GL15T-HG3-18 is fairly simple. The diode is designed to limit the peak voltage applied to the circuit by clamping the voltage at the clamping voltage, thus protecting the components and circuits from overvoltages. Depending on the clamping voltage, the diode is either designed to be a low voltage TVS diode, or a high voltage TVS diode. The GL15T-HG3-18 is a high voltage TVS diode with a peak pulse power dissipation rating of 8.25 watts and a maximum clamping voltage of 18 volts.

The GL15T-HG3-18 is designed specifically to protect circuits from high voltage or transient overvoltages. It is often used in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications. The diode’s peak pulse power dissipation rating of 8.25 watts indicates its high surge handling capability.

The GL15T-HG3-18 operates by restricting the peak voltage applied to the circuit, thus protecting the circuit or component from catastrophically high voltages. When the peak voltage applied to the circuit is higher than the clamping voltage of the diode, the diode will start to conduct, allowing a current to flow which will dissipate the excess voltage. This prevents the voltage from reaching the threshold voltage for a damaging breakdown or failure.

The GL15T-HG3-18 is designed to be a cost-effective and reliable solution for circuits requiring protection from high voltage transient overvoltages. It is often used in numerous applications, such adaptor, power supply, motherboard, digital or analog IC protection, motor control, and industrial machinery, to name a few.
