MQ1N8162US TVS - Diodes Application Field and Working Principle

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diodes are components that protect the device from high surge voltage and instantaneous overvoltage, and play an important role on the protection of electrical equipment. The MQ1N8162US is a bidirectional TVS diode that has been developed and manufactured using flammability grade materials, making it suitable for the use in consumer applications to effectively protect circuits from overvoltages. This article will discuss in detail the application field and the working principle of the MQ1N8162US.

Application Field

Generally, the application field of the MQ1N8162US includes industrial equipment, electrical power supply systems, domestic appliances, automotive equipment, telecommunication devices, test and measurement equipment, medical equipments, etc. Firstly, the MQ1N8162US is extensively used in industrial equipment since it can protect the industrial equipment from abnormal voltages in situations such as lightning strikes, short circuit, ect. Secondly, electric power supply systems, which are usually lightweight and portable, are often exposed to transient voltage issues when harmed by external voltages, and the MQ1N8162US can protect them from these abnormal surges. Thirdly, domestic appliances, such as air conditioners and refrigerators, need to be kept safe from the damage caused by overcurrents in electrical circuits. The MQ1N8162US offers just the right level of protection required to keep these appliances safe. Fourthly, telecommunications devices, such as base stations and subscriber lines, are prone to ringwave and lightning electromagnetic interference, which can disrupt their performance or even lead to destruction. The MQ1N8162US is a suitable component to protect such devices from theses overvoltage problems. Additionally, the MQ1N8162US is often used in cars to protect the electronic modules, like the control modules, instrument modules, and even the on-board diagnostics modules, from voltage-induced damage.Lastly, medical equipments, like diagnosis and testing equipments, also require protection from voltage-induced disruption. To this end, the MQ1N8162US can be used to protect such equipments and ensure secure operation.

Working Principle

The working principle of the MQ1N8162US is based on the concept of a diode, which is a two-terminal electronic component that conducts electricity in only one direction. When a current passes through the MQ1N8162US in the reverse direction it produces an avalanche effect. This produces an on-state voltage across the diode which is used to safeguard the circuit from overvoltages and overcurrents. At the same time, the MQ1N8162US enables electrons to pass through the diode at a low current level, which allows the maintenance of a basic level of operation for the electronic circuit. When a surge current passes through the diode, the current flow is reduced and the voltage in the circuit is controlled. In this way, the MQ1N8162US is able to offer protection from overvoltage and overcurrent situations. Furthermore, the MQ1N8162US is designed to be able to withstand multiple transient voltage surges and is equipped with the capability to reset itself as soon as the surge is over. This property of the MQ1N8162US makes it an ideal choice for the protection of electronic components from overvoltage damage.

Conclusion

The MQ1N8162US has been developed to provide superior protection to electronic components against voltage surges and is designed to reset itself once the surge is over. This makes it an obvious choice for the protection of electrical appliances, industrial equipment, cars, and medical devices. By understanding its application field and working principle, it is possible to use the MQ1N8162US to protect electronic components and devices from abnormal voltage and currents.
