A Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode, sometimes referred to as a Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) Diode, or simply a Transient Voltage Limiter (TVL) Diode, is a specialized diode designed specifically to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage transients such as Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). When an electric field contacts the diode, and the polarity and magnitude of the field exceeds the breakdown voltage (VBR) of the diode, the diode immediately switches on, clamping the voltage spike to a level below that which can cause damage to the system. The total conduction path of the diode is referred to as the trip-point (T m ), and it is typically in the range of 8 V to 24 V.

GSOT12-G3-08 is a type of TVS diode designed for use in the automotive industry, and is specifically designed to withstand higher operating temperatures compared to standard TVS diodes. It is an avalanche diode that is rated for up to 30 W for 5/1000 s (5 ms) period, and is made of silicon epitaxial planar construction. This type of diode can be used for ESD protection, and is ideal for protecting automotive electronic systems from voltage transients caused by ignition noise, alternatively referred to as radiation noise or spark-over.

To illustrate the application and working principle of GSOT12-G3-08, consider an automotive system with a 12 V lead-acid battery. When the spark plug is activated, it brings a high voltage surge, usually about 200 V, which will instantaneously be spread through the vehicle’s wiring, and also through the automotive system. Without protection, this voltage spike can severely damage sensitive electronics, particularly those connected to the wiring. GSOT12-G3-08 is designed specifically to protect the automotive system from such voltage surges.

In this case, installing the GSOT12-G3-08 diode between the battery and the automotive system will immediately divert the high voltage spike away from the sensitive components. When the voltage spike reaches the diode’s breakdown voltage (VBR), it will switch on, providing a path to ground for the high voltage spike, thereby protecting the automotive system from the surge. The GSOT12-G3-08 diode is designed with a low capacitance, meaning that it will switch on faster than standard diodes, and its high peak power ratings make it an ideal choice for protecting automotive systems from high voltage surges.

In conclusion, GSOT12-G3-08 is an ideal reliable diode designed specifically for use in automotive systems. It is designed to handle higher temperatures, and its low capacitance and high peak power ratings make it an excellent choice for protecting against high voltage transients such as ESD and ignition noise. By installing GSOT12-G3-08, automotive systems can be protected from such sudden voltage transients, ensuring the system is reliable and operational for longer periods of time.
