MASMBJ22AE3

A transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode is a device designed to protect sensitive electronic components from damage due to transient overvoltage conditions. The device can be triggered by external transients, such as switching of inductive or capacitive loads, or may also be triggered internally, such as in the event of a surge caused by dV/dt on a protection line.

The MASMBJ22AE3 is a unidirectional silicon transient voltage suppressor diode designed to protect voltage sensitive components from damage caused by high voltage transients. It is designed to protect against voltage surges up to +33V and has a peak pulse power rating of 600 Watts. It is RoHS compliant and \'Halogen Free\'.

The MASMBJ22AE3 uses a bidirectional, avalanche diode structure. It has a reverse breakover voltage of 22V, a reverse recovery time of 3ns, and is capable of suppressing transient overvoltage spikes in either direction. It has an operating range of -55°C to 150°C.

In operation, the MASMBJ22AE3 acts as a short-circuit protection device. When a voltage transient occurs, electrical current is conducted away from the protected component, reducing the associated risks from overvoltage. The diode exhibits a fast response time, ensuring protection from high voltage transients. It also features a low clamping voltage, ensuring good noise immunity while still providing sufficient clamping voltage for protection.

The MASMBJ22AE3 is commonly used in automotive, industrial and commercial applications to protect voltage sensitive components from damage due to transient overvoltage conditions. It is suitable for use in DC circuits, and can be used to protect low-voltage DC components, such as microcontrollers, from high-voltage transients. In addition, it can also be used in high-voltage AC circuits; however, it should be added in series with a load resistor, in order to protect the load.

The MASMBJ22AE3 is an ideal solution for protecting sensitive electronic components from damage due to transient overvoltage conditions. It is designed to provide superior protection, with fast response time and low clamping voltage, and is suitable for use in both DC and high-voltage AC circuits.
