PESD5V0S2UAT,215

Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes are a form of semiconductor that protect sensitive electronic components from voltage and current fluctuations. The PESD5V0S2UAT,215 is a junction diode that is used for Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection.

Application Fields

The PESD5V0S2UAT,215 is designed for use in applications such as consumer electronics and computer peripherals. It is suitable for protecting devices from damage due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). This diode works particularly well in low-voltage, low-current applications. It is also suitable for use as a general-purpose protection diode to protect devices from latching/holding voltages, or transients in general.

Working Principle

The PESD5V0S2UAT,215 has a clamping voltage of 5.0V. This is the voltage at which the diode will start to conduct when subjected to a voltage spike. The device will act as a clamp to absorb transients, preventing them from reaching sensitive components.

The device has a low dynamic resistance (less than 0.03 Ohms), so it is able to absorb transients quickly, helping to protect devices from the damaging effects of such spikes. The peak current rating of the device is 2A, so it can handle currents up to that level without damage.

The device is also designed to be very robust, so it is able to withstand multiple voltage spikes and fluctuations without being damaged. This helps to keep devices protected from transient events over the course of their lifetime.

Conclusion

The PESD5V0S2UAT,215 is a junction diode designed for use in transient voltage and current protection applications. It is suitable for use in low-voltage, low-current consumer electronics and computer peripherals. It is also a robust device that can handle multiple voltage spikes without damage.
