ICTE8HE3_A/D Circuit Protection

TVS-Diodes are special types of diodes tasked with protecting sensitive components from overvoltage events, such as those experienced in electrical lightning strikes. TVS-Diodes come in many different voltage ratings and forms, and they are able to absorb large amounts of energy in the form of transient voltages.

ICTE8HE3_A/D is a specific type of TVS-Diode. It is designed for applications with high protection levels and is used to protect sensitive components from potential overvoltage events. This type of diode is typically used in the protection of AC/DC power, data, and telecommunication equipment, and it can also be used in automotive circuit protection applications.

The ICTE8HE3_A/D is designed to provide optimal EMC protection and reliable operation in case of overvoltage transients. It has an operating breakdown voltage range of 6V to 8V and a maximum clamping voltage of 15V. It has a peak pulse power of 8.5kW and an average power dissipation of 1W. The device is also able to handle high surge currents, up to 1.2A. Additionally, it has a low capacitance, which reduces EMI levels.

The working principle of the ICTE8HE3_A/D is simple. When an overvoltage transient event occurs, the diode is triggered and begins to conduct current, thus dissipating excess voltage in the form of heat. This prevents the overvoltage event from damaging the sensitive components.

In summary, the ICTE8HE3_A/D is a high-performance TVS-Diode designed for applications with high-level protection requirements. It is capable of absorbing large amounts of energy in the form of transient voltages and it works by dissipating excess voltage in the form of heat. This ensures that sensitive components are effectively protected from any damaging overvoltage events.
