GL24-HT3-GS08

TVS – Diodes are specialists at protecting electronics from high voltage and high current surges. They are technology ready to meet the challenge of the ever-increasing demand for surge protection in an ultra-miniaturized body size. GL24-HT3-GS08 is the latest addition to the TVS family of products that provide enhanced protection for automotive, industrial and consumer markets.

The GL24-HT3-GS08 is a three terminal, low capacitance, low operating voltage device with an improved surge capability of up to 24V. It offers the highest level of protection from high voltage spikes, ESD (electrostatic discharge) and other transient over-voltage events. The device\'s three terminals are placed adjacent to each other on the chip, allowing for a low profile design with minimal space requirements.

The GL24-HT3-GS08 working principle is based on a voltage breakdown mechanism either across an avalanche diode or a voltage-dependent resistor. It mainly works on the principle of avalanche breakdown. When a specific reverse voltage is applied across the diode, the electric field in the diode increases until it reaches a certain level. At this point, electrons are forced to collide with the nuclei and produce a large number of free electrons.

These free electrons generate a huge current flow in the diode. The current flow through the diode causes the voltage increase to break down the diode. This phenomenon is known as avalanche breakdown, which is the basis of TVS – Diodes function. The large current is then absorbed by the TVS diode to protect the circuits.

As for the GL24-HT3-GS08 application field, this device can be used for a wide range of applications including automotive, industrial and consumer markets. It offers high speed protection for end-user electronic equipment, such as automation control systems, computers, smartphones, and other digital and analog appliances. Besides, the GL24-HT3-GS08 can also be used for other applications, such as telecom base stations, communication systems, power supply, industrial plants, medical devices, and other sensitive devices.

In conclusion, the GL24-HT3-GS08 is an ideal three-terminal TVS – Diode for transient over-voltage protection capability. It offers a maximum surge capability of 24V, compact size, low capacitance, and high speed protection across a wide range of applications. It is the perfect device for protecting electronic components and circuits from high voltage and current surges.
