Transient voltage suppressors (TVS) diodes, also called surge-protection diodes, are electronic components designed to protect high-value equipment against transient electrical currents. The GSOT36C-HE3-18 is an example of a TVS diode that provides a combination of low capacitance, fast response, and reverse stand-off voltage.

As the name implies, the GSOT36C-HE3-18 is designed to protect against transient electrical currents. Due to its small physical size, the diode is ideal for use in limited space applications where larger TVS diodes cannot be accommodated. The diode\'s low capacitance also makes it suitable for high-frequency applications. The GSOT36C-HE3-18 operates with a reverse stand-off voltage of 17V and has a peak pulse power rating of 600W. The diode has an operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

The working principle of the GSOT36C-HE3-18 is based on the principle of Zener diodes. It consists of a pair of PN junction diodes connected in series. The PN junction diode acts as a breakdown diode and clamps the reverse voltage to a safe level. The series combination of PN junction diodes provides an additional voltage drop, ensuring that a large reverse voltage is not sent to the equipment.

When an incoming surge voltage exceeds the reverse stand-off voltage of the GSOT36C-HE3-18, the PN junctions start to conduct. This current flow reduces the magnitude of the voltage across the PN junction diodes, thus preventing overvoltage in the device. The current then flows through the TVS diode, dissipating the energy of the surge. Once the transient current is dissipated, the diode automatically reverts to a high-impedance (off) state and the device is then able to continue its normal operation.

In addition to its high performance, the GSOT36C-HE3-18 has a number of features that make it ideal for protecting electrical devices. It has enhanced surge energy handling capabilities as well as a fast response time. The device has an extremely low differential capacitance of 0.4pF, which is ideal for high-speed communication and other high-frequency applications. The GSOT36C-HE3-18 is also RoHS compliant, which makes it suitable for use in environmentally-sensitive applications.

The GSOT36C-HE3-18 is perfect for applications where a small, low-capacitance TVS diode is needed. It is ideal for protecting delicate and high-value equipment from transient electrical currents. The diode\'s low capacitance and fast response time make it suitable for various high-frequency applications, while its robust construction and RoHS compliance make it suitable for use in all environments.
