LC8.5A

The TVS - Diodes known in the industry as Transient Voltage Suppressor Diode, are used in the protection of circuits against voltage excesses. The LC8.5A TVS Diodes offer a protection specifically developed for power and data line protection.The wide range of applications and working principles make this type of protection very appealing, from computers and consumer electronics, to industrial, telecom and power applications.Let’s take a closer look at the devices\' application fields and working principle.

The LC8.5A devices are particularly effective in the protection of power and data lines, given the ultra-low capacitance of a few pF the device offers. It is also capable of clamping and dissipating shocks to an acceptable level.These devices are actively utilized in consumer equipment protection, such as cell phones, display monitors, laptops, PDAs, portable music players and digital cameras, and in electronic devices for office or industrial automation.In addition to the general application to consumer equipment, LC8.5A devices are also suitable for telecom power and data line protection, in optocouplers for power up and down conversion, in the protection of memory modules for computers and in automotive applications, such as barrier rectifiers. They are versatile in all systems, pinpointing, identifying and suppressing transients.

So how does the LC8.5A device work? It has a low clamping voltage that operates at 8.5 volts for most transients - lower than most devices on the market - and is designed to provide overvoltage protection in applications that run up to 24 volts. It also has a low leakage current, meaning it dissipates almost no energy, has a low capacitance, and is power rated with a very low maximum voltage rating.The TVS diode\'s unique design is different from the conventional protector and offers great protection and reliability for all kinds of applications. It also comes with a reverse-biased PN junction and includes a reverse breakdown region with a knee voltage of 8.5 volts.The LC8.5A TVS diodes have a very low voltage clamping of only 8.5 volts that makes them ideal for protecting against transients of up to 24 volts.The LC8.5A devices offer additional features such as fast response time, low capacitance, high surge current capability, and low clamping voltage.

In conclusion, LC8.5A devices are certified for UL1449 standard, which means they are safe to use in a wide variety of applications. The devices are able to offer excellent overvoltage protection from transients of up to 24 volts and their design allows for a very low clamping voltage of only 8.5 volts. Additionally, they offer a low leakage current, low capacitance, and power rated with a very low maximum voltage rating.Since the devices are suitable for a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to telecom and power applications, they have become the go-to protection method for engineers in both the consumer and industrial sectors.
