IXBOD1-26R

Transitory voltage suppressors (TVSs) are important for suppressing electrical overstresses caused by electrical transients. These and other types of back-EMF may be amplified by capacitive circuits or transistorized circuits commonly found in industrial, commercial, or automotive applications. The IXBOD1-26R is one such TVS, and it can provide protection for such applications.

The IXBOD1-26R is a mixed-technology, unidirectional TVS with an adjustable clamping voltage that can protect a variety of standard electronic equipment. It has a more narrow operating range than other TVSs and is rated for Peak Pulse Power (PPP) up to 1.5 kW. It is not typically used for high-Energy applications, rather it is used in more moderate applications that require a low on-state voltage, such as power distribution systems.

The IXBOD1-26R is made of metal oxide varistor (MOV) and bidirectional diode technologies. Its advantage over other TVSs is its ability to provide excellent suppression in both unidirectional and bidirectional situations. It is typically used in power distribution systems, communication systems, or any circuit that requires a low on-state voltage.

The device works by allowing high-energy electrical transients to flow through it and get clamped at a predetermined voltage. This is done through the use of bidirectional diodes and metal oxide varistors. Diodes are semiconductor devices that allow electrical current to flow in only one direction, while MOVs are non-linear resistors that rapidly dissipate a high voltage transient. The diode and MOV combination ensures that the protected current is clamped at the specified voltage regardless of whether the transient is unidirectional or bidirectional.

The IXBOD1-26R also has a high surge current rating (tSOS), which makes it suitable for high-surge, high-temperature environments. This is important because many external transients, such as lightning strikes or nearby electric discharges, could damage or otherwise disrupt sensitive electronic components. The IXBOD1-26R can protect against such events by rapidly dissipating the current in the form of heat.

In addition to its surge protection capabilities, the IXBOD1-26R also offers a high degree of thermal stability. This means that the device can continue to function correctly even when exposed to extreme temperatures. This makes the IXBOD1-26R an ideal TVS for automotive applications, or in any other environment where extreme temperatures may be experienced.

The IXBOD1-26R is a powerful and reliable TVS that can provide a high level of protection in even the harshest of environments. With its robust construction and adjustable clamping voltage, it is well suited for a variety of applications. Its diode and MOV combination ensures excellent suppression in both unidirectional and bidirectional situations, and its high surge current rating makes it suitable for even high-surge, high-temperature environments. Whether it is used in automotive, communication, or power distribution systems, the IXBOD1-26R is an ideal choice for providing reliable and robust protection.
