TVS (Transient Voltage Surge) diodes are one of the most commonly used components in electrical systems, for protection of other components in the circuit as well as providing stable and reliable performance operations. As such, TVS Diodes are important in the design of any electrical equipment, and it is important to understand the applications and working principle of a specific type, such as the GSOT04C-HE3-18.

The GSOT04C-HE3-18 is best suited for applications in automotive and other power related electronics. It has a maximum peak pulse power rating of 3kW, with a nominal breakdown voltage of 18V and a maximum breakdown voltage of 20V. This diodes is also capable of providing low clamping voltages, with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. This makes it ideal for power related systems that are used in automobiles, where operating temperatures can exceed standard ranges.

The working principle of this type of TVS Diode involves an electrostatic discharge of air around a glow discharge area, and this is what causes the clamping of a current passing through the diode as the current passes an air gap. The work principle involves the air ionizing and creating a machined gap between the cathode and anode electrodes. When a current passes through the anode and cathode, it causes the air to become ionized. This ionization results in an electric field that is created between the electrodes which causes a clamping voltage to develop. This prevents any further current from passing through.

The GSOT04C-HE3-18 is highly reliable in these applications, offering fast response in microseconds, low leakage current, high surge protection capabilities, low operating voltage, and a wide range of operational temperatures. It can work well in the automotive environment, and is capable of providing a high level of protection from transients and surges.

In conclusion, the GSOT04C-HE3-18 is a great choice for applications in the automotive and other power related systems. It has specialized features which include high surge protection, fast response times, low leakages current, and low clamping voltage capabilities. Its working principle involves an electrostatic discharge of air around a glow discharge area, which in turn creates a machined gap between the cathode and anode. This allows it to provide a stable, reliable protection of other components in the circuit.
