TVS diodes or Transient Voltage Suppressor diodes are semiconductor devices widely used to protect vulnerable electronic equipment from surges, spikes and high voltage transients. They have become a common way to protect electronic components from the severe stress of a voltage surge, effectively preventing these components from being damaged by the overvoltage environment. P4SMAJ85ADF-13 is a type of TVS diode which is actually a four-channel unidirectional diode array, each having a peak power rating of 420 watts, reverse stand-off voltage of 13V, and a clamping voltage of 16V. It is designed to protect electronic circuits from voltage transients induced by lightning, and other transient voltage events.

The TVS diode is a component that is designed to protect and prevent any kind of electronic device from getting damaged due to an overvoltage. It acts as a voltage regulator, supporting the ability of any device that is connected to it to momentarily withstand high transient voltages and currents. When the voltage exceeds the rated peak power rating of the diode, it will clamp the voltage and quickly dissipate the energy of the surge. In case of the P4SMAJ85ADF-13, its peak power rating of 420 watts can readily absorb any transient surge across a wide range of applications.

The P4SMAJ85ADF-13 diode is designed to be used in standby electronic equipment, such as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), and in power entry modules for AC and DC power circuits. This type of diode is also used in automotive and industrial applications to protect against power surges. In addition, it is used in many consumer electronics products, such as TVs, radios, and computers, as it provides improved protection against damage caused by lightning strikes or other voltage issues.

In terms of its working principle, the P4SMAJ85ADF-13 diode operates in the same way as other TVS diodes. When a transient voltage is applied to it, it primarily conducts in the reverse direction, meaning that the anode voltage is relatively larger than the cathode voltage. This process triggers the avalanche breakdown inside the diode, which results in the clamping of the reverse voltage. Once the voltage is clamped, the diode dissipates the energy released by the transient voltage, ensuring that the connected circuit is not damaged.

The P4SMAJ85ADF-13 diode is an extremely important component for a wide variety of applications. Its ability to provide superior protection against voltage transients makes it highly valuable in various electronic systems. Moreover, its four-channel feature and reverse-standoff voltage of 13V makes it a great choice for protecting a wide range of devices from damage caused by high voltage transients.
