TVS - Diodes: ICTE12C-E3/73 Application Field and Working Principle

TVS - Diodes, or Transient Voltage Suppressor Diodes, are widely used in various fields due to their ability to cope up with very high voltage transients and surges, like electrical spikes caused by lightning and other power related sources. The ICTE12C-E3/73 is a typical TVS - Diode, and this article will discuss its application field and working principle.

Application Field of ICTE12C-E3/73

The ICTE12C-E3/73 is designed for use in various electronics hardware such as routers, smartphones, portable media players, and all kinds of computer equipment. It offers reliable protection for delicate and sensitive circuits against voltage spikes and can protect them from the damaging effects of electrical overshoot and undershoot, caused by lightning and other external sources of voltage surges. It can also be used for low-voltage applications such as laptop power supplies, as well as various automotive equipment.

Working Principle of ICTE12C-E3/73

The ICTE12C-E3/73 is a voltage-sensitive solid-state device and works on the principle of a Zener diode. When a transient voltage attempts to enter the protected device through an antenna or other external source, the diode changes its own electrical resistance and breaks the circuit to protect the sensitive circuits from permanent damage.The voltage of the protected device is usually above the peak clamp voltage (PVC) of the diode, and the ICTE12C-E3/73’s PVC is rated at 12 Volts. It also has a maximum power rating of 250 mW, making it suitable for applications with moderate power requirements.The diode comes with Overvoltage Protection (OVP) feature which works by detecting the voltage of the protected device and disabling the device if the voltage exceeds the OVP voltage of the diode. The OVP voltage of the ICTE12C-E3/73 is 8 Volts and it shuts down when the level of the voltage exceeds this voltage.

Conclusion

The ICTE12C-E3/73 Transient Voltage Suppressor Diode is an ideal choice for protecting your electronics and other sensitive circuits from voltage spikes and surges. It is a reliable and sturdy device that can withstand very high voltage transients without failure and can protect your devices from the damaging effects of electrical overshoot and undershoot, caused by external sources. The OVP feature of the ICTE12C-E3/73 provides added protection for your sensitive devices and helps to ensure their longevity.
