TVS diode is a style of surge protection for the electrical, computer and telecommunications industries. TVS diode, or Transient Voltage Suppression diode, is designed to protect sensitive solid state electronics from voltage spikes, violent transients, and electrostatic discharge (ESD). The JAN1N6163A is a fast, bidirectional TVS that offers high peak pulse current capacity and a low breakdown voltage of 6.2 V for consumer, industrial, and automotive applications.

The JAN1N6163A is often used on automotive applications, such as general-purpose ESD protection, and secondary protection in telecommunication applications. It is typically designed to protect against high-voltage transients in automotive circuit boards, as well as in industrial and consumer environments such as electronic medical equipment and equipment exposed to ESD. The device provides protection up to ±14 kV HBM, ±8 kV MM, and ±15 kV CDM.

The principal of an avalanche breakdown process is at the heart of the JAN1N6163A\'s performance. An avalanche breakdown occurs when a high electric field applied to a diode increases the number of current carriers within the diode enough to create a sustained current flow. During this process, the diode switches into a low-resistance conduction and produces a current avalanche, which is limited by the device\'s surge current capabilities.

The JAN1N6163A diode has a low junction capacitance of 2.2 pF and a maximum surge current of 72 A at an 8/20 µs pulse width. This device has a minimum breakdown voltage of 6.2 V and a maximum operating voltage of 9.2 V for added versatility. The breakdown voltage is the voltage at which the diode will begin to conduct current under a specified level of applied current. The operating voltage is the maximum permissible reverse voltage that can be placed across the diode’s terminals.

The JAN1N6163A diode has an ESD protection of ±15 kV in accordance with IEC 61000-4-2 which ensures a robust and reliable product. This device is also covered by the RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC), meaning it is compliant with European environmental standards.

The JAN1N6163A is typically packaged in a SOD-123FL surface-mount package and provides a low-cost solution for protecting low-voltage applications such as automotive circuit boards, industrial and consumer electronics, as well as medical devices from ESD and transients.
