P6SMB24CAT3G works controlling the current which flows through electronic components when large voltage transients occur. The TVS diode is in open circuit till the desired voltage is reached, and then it begins to conduct, blocking the voltage across it. During an overvoltage transient, the current flows through the diode to the ground, reducing the peak voltage seen by the device under protection. TVS diodes are sometimes employed in combination with other components to perform various protection functions.

P6SMB24CAT3G is known for its excellent electrical characteristics, a wide operating range and low capacitance, it has become the preferred solution for providing over-voltage and over-current protection in many electronic applications. The widespread use of this diode in various applications is due to its compatibility with various circuit designs, its low capacitance and its ability to provide protection in a wide range of temperature.
