ICTE-15RL4G Circuit Protection

TVS - Diodes are important tools for protecting electrical equipment and electronic devices from overvoltage and overcurrent. ICTE-15RL4G is a surface mount diode that has been designed for transient protection in sensitive applications which require low clamping voltage.

Application Field of ICTE-15RL4G

ICTE-15RL4G is suitable for a variety of automotive, telecommunication, computing, consumer, industrial and military applications. It is specifically designed for the protection of cables, connectors, relays, sensors, data lines, power ports and other electronic components that are subject to voltage surges. With its low clamping voltage, it also has the capability of protecting high-speed, low-voltage sensitive circuitry such as signal, communication and control circuits which are vulnerable to transients.

Working Principle of ICTE-15RL4G

ICTE-15RL4G is built to protect against an array of transients including fast transients, over voltage and surge events which can cause destruction of connected devices and components. It monitors any unexpected spike in voltage, and if it exceeds a predetermined level, then the diode immediately short circuits to limit the voltage to a safe level. The current will then be redirected to ground, thereby dissipating the energy and protect against damage. The working principle is simple yet effective in protecting delicate equipment.

The diode is designed to ensure maximum protection. It has a low capacitance and low inductance to provide fast response time. Its low clamping voltage ensures that the protected circuit is not damaged. The relatively low leakage current also preserves the integrity of the circuit and ensures that it remains unaffected when not in use. Additionally, its high forward surge capability increases the likelihood of protection from large surges.

The ICTE-15RL4G is also designed to be highly reliable and provide sustained protection over a wide range of temperatures and environments. Its high temperature stability is guaranteed up to 150ºC, which provides reliable protection even in extreme conditions. The diode is compliant with all relevant standards and can provide reliable protection for applications in safety-critical environments.

In summary, ICTE-15RL4G is an effective and reliable TVS diode that can be used for protecting various applications from transient voltages. Its low clamping voltage, fast response time, high temperature stability and high surge capabilities makes it the ideal diode for protecting sensitive electronic circuitry.
