PGSMAJ13CAHR3G

TVS - Diodes is one of the most commonly used types of components in circuit design. The PGSMAJ13CAHR3G is a very powerful and useful TVS diode that provides over-voltage protection for devices and components. It also provides thermal protection from over-heating resulting from large current surges and high voltage shock.

The PGSMAJ13CAHR3G is a bi-directional TVS diode, meaning it can protect from both positive and negative voltage abnormals. The PGSMAJ13CAHR3G uses a reverse standoff voltage of 13V with a peak pulse power rating of 500W. It enables the diode to give protection against voltages of up to 8.4kV, as well as fast protection against transient surges. This high clamping level makes it perfect for protecting electronic components against various types of high-frequency voltage transients and ESD.

The PGSMAJ13CAHR3G is widely used in many different applications. It is commonly used in smart meters, communication equipment, motor controllers, and countless other devices where circuit protection is necessary. It can also be used in automotive, aerospace, medical, and military applications, making it highly versatile and applicable in a wide range of devices.

The PGSMAJ13CAHR3G is based on the Zener diode principle and works by limiting the voltage or current surge to a predetermined value. It acts much like a short circuit between the anode and cathode, allowing current to pass but limiting its magnitude and allowing the rest of the circuit to be protected.

The device works by routing any incoming voltage surge from the power line to the anode, and then to the cathode. The voltage will then pass through a reverse-biased Zener diode which will then dissipate the excess energy. This prevents the surge from damaging other components that may be connected to the power line.

The PGSMAJ13CAHR3G is a highly effective device for protection from voltage and current transients. Its features and performance characteristics make it applicable in a wide range of applications, making it one of the most popular and widely used TVS - Diodes in the market today.
