MSMLG7.5A

TVS - Diodes are an integrated overvoltage protection component that can be used to protect electronic components and systems from voltage transients. The MSMLG7.5A is a unidirectional overvoltage protection component that incorporates a diode and a Zener diode in a single package and operates as a high-speed Trisil protection device. It is designed to provide overvoltage protection of up to 7.5A in surface mount applications.

The MSMLG7.5A operates with two different working principles. First, when a surge voltage is applied to the diode, the diode begins to conduct and this creates a current flow, which in turn causes the Zener diode to break down. This limits the amount of current flow and therefore, the voltage applied across the protected components. Second, when the surge voltage is removed, the Zener diode and the diode reform the original circuit, thus providing full protection to the protected components.

The MSMLG7.5A is typically used as a protection device in a variety of applications, such as protecting high-speed data lines, circuit boards, power supplies, and other sensitive electronic devices from over-voltage transients. It is capable of handling up to 7.5A of rush current while limiting the peak pulse voltage to marginally above the working breakdown voltage. The MSMLG7.5A is suitable for a wide range of equipment and has been designed to fit into most of the standard footprints for surface mount components. Additionally, it is capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 85°C in a wide range of environments.

In summary, the MSMLG7.5A is a unidirectional overvoltage protection component that provides up to 7.5A of protection in surface mount applications. It functions with two different principles of operation, first by limiting the amount of current flow during a surge voltage and then by reforming the original circuit when the transient is removed. The MSMLG7.5A is reliable, easy to integrate into existing circuitry, and suitable for use in a wide range of applications and environments.
