LCDA05.T

TVS-diodes, also known as Transient Voltage Suppression diodes, are electronic components which are used in a variety of applications to protect other circuits from being damaged due to large voltage spikes and other undesirable electrical transients. The LCDA05.T is a type of TVS-diode that is a multi-layer ceramic device with press-fit terminals. It is designed to protect electronics against overvoltage and voltage transients. The LCDA05.T is commonly used in automotive, industrial, and general purpose applications.

The LCDA05.T is designed to protect low-voltage circuits and components from voltage transients and overvoltage events. It can handle voltages up to 30V and can dissipate a peak power up to 360W. The device is designed to be very low capacitance when used in low voltage circuits. It also features a very fast response time, so it can respond quickly to voltage transients.

The LCDA05.T is composed of a ceramic body, metal leads, and a press fit terminal for mounting. The ceramic body is designed to provide exceptional electrical and thermal properties, while the metal leads provide electrical connectivity for the device. The press fit terminal gives the device mechanical stability during operation. The device can be mounted on a PCB with a standard hole pattern and surface mount.

The working principle of the LCDA05.T is based on the principle of avalanche breakdown. When the voltage on the device exceeds a certain level, the valence electrons in the component are pulled out of their atomic orbits and accelerated by the electric field. This causes the electrons to gain enough energy that they can break free of their parent atom and collide with other atoms, releasing an avalanche of electrons. This process allows a large current to flow through the component, effectively overvoltage it.

The LCDA05.T is an ideal device for protecting circuits and components from overvoltage and voltage transients. It provides fast response time and low capacitance for low voltage circuits. It is a multi-layer ceramic device, making it especially desirable for high power applications such as in the automotive and industrial sectors. It can also be used in general purpose applications where fast overvoltage protection is required.
