PGSMAJ15AHM2G Circuit Protection

TVS - Diodes are electronic components that attenuate high voltages to safely manage energy produced by malfunctions in circuits. A TVS Diode, or Transient Voltage Suppressor Diode, is a specialized form of diode that provides protection from overvoltage transients. It is ideal for use in applications where large bursts of energy are possible, and it also works as a reverse energy suppressor to protect against potential damage from high-energy explosive events. The PGSMAJ15AHM2G TVS - Diode is a surface mount diode that is specially designed for automotive applications and is capable of operating up to a maximum of 15 amperes.

Application Field of the PGSMAJ15AHM2G

The PGSMAJ15AHM2G TVS - Diode is a highly reliable device designed specifically for in automotive applications. It is designed to protect automotive circuits from destructive over voltages that may occur during short circuits or other fault conditions. It is capable of dissipating up to 80W of ESD and EFT energy. Additionally, its clamping voltage and peak pulse power rating make it ideal for protecting SOT-23 devices in automotive systems. The PGSMAJ15AHM2G TVS - Diode is also UL certified, making it an excellent choice for meeting the latest industry safety requirements.

Working Principle of the PGSMAJ15AHM2G

The PGSMAJ15AHM2G TVS - Diode is a bidirectional suppressor diode that operates by clamping voltages that exceed a preset operating voltage. When a transient voltage exceeds the set voltage, the PGSMAJ15AHM2G TVS - Diode quickly reduces the voltage to a safe level. This diode also features a very low leakage current and low capacitance, which allow it to effectively protect sensitive devices from ESD and other pulses of energy. When a transient is detected, the diode quickly clamps the voltage, and then slowly releases it over time, slowly dissipating that energy. This reliable protection from overvoltage transients makes the PGSMAJ15AHM2G an excellent choice for automotive applications.
