MASMBJSAC8.5

The most commonly used transient voltage suppression diode is the MASMBJSAC8.5. It is a two-terminal device that is designed to protect against the effects of voltage transients on both AC and DC systems, with very fast response times.

Working Principle

The main working principle of the MASMBJSAC8.5 is to suppress voltage transients. It does so by using a reverse-biased junction between two semiconductor materials. When an overvoltage occurs, the MASMBJSAC8.5 acts like an overvoltage protector or a diode clamp. The diode will conduct current through the junction until the transient voltage is removed. This allows for a controlled discharge of stored energy, which helps protect the components connected to the diode from high voltage damage.

Application Field

The MASMBJSAC8.5 is used in a variety of applications, with the most common being for the protection against transient voltages on AC and DC systems. It can also be used in automotive and electronics applications.

The MASMBJSAC8.5 can be used in AC circuits where it will clamp the peak voltage instantaneously, protecting the circuit components. In a DC circuit, the diode will provide protection against voltage transients that are above normal operating voltage levels.

In the automotive industry, the MASMBJSAC8.5 diode protects the car\'s power system against voltage transients, preventing electrical damage from occurring. It is also used in a variety of electronics applications, with the most common being in the design of switching power supplies and other power conditioning applications.
