NSD6 Circuit Protection

The Non-Rechargeable Switching Diode 6, commonly abbreviated to NSD6, is a specialty fuse that is designed to be robust and highly reliable. It is used in a wide range of application fields including power systems, telecommunications, automotive, industrial and consumer electronics. The main advantages of this fuse are its small size, long life, and robustness.

The NSD6 is essentially a diode that is designed to be used as an on/off switch in electronics circuits. It works by allowing current to flow through the device in one direction only. When an overvoltage is reached, the diode will become activated, interrupting the current flow. This feature makes it ideal for providing surge protection to sensitive electronics equipment.

The NSD6 has a maximum operating voltage of 6volts (7V at the max.). Its maximum amperage rating is 2 amperes. It has a maximum operating temperature of 85°C and maximum reverse voltage of 30V. A major advantage of this device is its low dropout voltage. This means that it can be used in low-voltage applications where traditional fuses would be prone to failure.

The NSD6 has two distinct modes of operation. In the standard switching mode, current flows through the device until it reaches the maximum voltage rating and then the diode activates. In the second mode of operation, known as the protected switching mode, current continues to flow through the fuse even after the maximum voltage is reached. This gives the NSD6 a longer life and improved reliability.

The NSD6 is a reliable and robust fuse which is suitable for a wide range of application fields. Its small size, long life, and low dropout voltage make it ideal for use in low-voltage applications such as consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial manufacturing. Its ability to withstand high-voltage surges ensures that it is highly reliable and suitable for protecting valuable equipment.
