The P4SMA160A-E3/61 is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode. It is ranked among TVS - Diodes and typically used when a surge or voltage spike is present. It is also known as a clamping diode in the diode family and works by increasing the device\'s current rating by down-regulation of the voltage. As a transient voltage suppressor, it can also be used for voltage protection against ESD attacks and overvoltage conditions.

The P4SMA160A-E3/61 is a diode with unidirectional polarity meaning it has a positive and a negative lead. It is a small scale device ideally suited to component level ESD protection and can be used on AC and DC circuits. It is a fast response device designed to prevent sudden voltage spikes in time to protect circuits from potential damage.

The P4SMA160A-E3/61 bidirectional TVS diode features a breakdown voltage of 16 V, a leakage current at 25°C of 1 μA, and a maximum clamping voltage of 25 V. In addition, it has an IEC 61000-4-2 ESD classification rating of 4 kV and an IEC 61000-4-4 surge waveform class of 2 kV/μs. It includes an extremely low capacitance to ensure signal integrity in high frequency applications. The P4SMA160A-E3/61 is suitable for use in most modern electronic applications, including automotive, industrial, medical electronic equipment, household appliances, and more.

The P4SMA160A-E3/61 works by diverting sharp voltage spikes away from the target system. When a voltage spike occurs, the P4SMA160A-E3/61 diode will rapidly increase its current and reduce the voltage across the diode by clamping it to a safe level. This prevents the voltage spike from causing damage to the electronics on the target system. After the voltage spike has passed, the current flowing through the diode will slowly decrease and the voltage will return to its normal level.

The P4SMA160A-E3/61 is a bidirectional diode, meaning it will work in either direction. This makes it easy to install and allows designers the flexibility to place the diode in the path of any AC or DC voltage spikes. This makes it easy to customize protection for a device.

The P4SMA160A-E3/61 is an ideal choice for TVS - Diodes designed for safety in all kinds of electronics applications. Its low breakdown voltage, fast response time, and bidirectional construction make it an attractive choice for use in protection against ESD attacks and voltage overshoots.
