TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes, sometimes referred to as ‘surge suppressors’, are components used to protect circuit against transient surges. They are commonly seen in automotive, industrial, and telecom circuit applications where high or unpredictable levels of transient overvoltage protection is required. The P4SMA100CAHE3/61 is a type of TVS diode most commonly used for protecting Automotive Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and other automotive electronics from overvoltage events.

A typical P4SMA100CAHE3/61 TVS device consists of two terminals that connect to a silicon substrate. The two terminals are generally referred to as the anode and cathode. The Cathode side of the diode is usually connected to the load side of the circuit, and the Anode side is connected to the high side of the circuit. This configuration allows the diode to dissipate any transient energy that is too high for the circuit to handle.

The P4SMA100CAHE3/61 TVS diode is unique in that it is able to clamp or divert transient voltages that are higher than its clamping voltage, which is 100V for this diode. This makes the P4SMA100CAHE3/61 ideal for protecting Automotive Electronic Control Units and automotive electronics, which typically operate at voltages below 100V. The ability to clamp high voltages also allows the P4SMA100CAHE3/61 diode to be used to protect automotive electronics from secondary surges caused by lightning or car engine start-up.

The working principle of the P4SMA100CAHE3/61 TVS diode is simple. When a surge in voltage occurs on the Anode side of the diode, the Anode side voltage rises above the diode’s clamping voltage, which is 100V for this diode. The excess energy is then diverted to the Cathode side of the diode, protecting the circuit from being damaged by the surge.

The P4SMA100CAHE3/61 TVS diode is an effective protection component for automotive electronics, and is designed for use in a wide range of automotive applications. The diode is able to provide robust protection against high levels of transient voltage due to its high clamping voltage and ability to dissipate excess energy. The P4SMA100CAHE3/61 diode is also simple to install, and is compatible with industry standard automotive connectors.
