TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) Diodes are widely used in a variety of applications. The PGSMAJ16A R3G is a bidirectional TVS Diode designed for surge and ESD protection applications. This diode has been designed to protect susceptible electronic circuits receiving outputs from capacitive, transformer or relay switching. It is suitable for a wide range of high current and high-voltage protection and has proven to be a reliable and versatile device.

The PGSMAJ16A R3G device consists of two back-to-back Zener diodes in series, with a common anode. The two diodes have different breakdown voltages and current ratings. It is designed to protect from overvoltage transients up to 2.5KV such as lightning, contact, static, capacitor discharge, and switching transients. The device has an operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. It is available in a variety of packages including DO-220 and DO-214AA.

This diode is characterized by a fast response time of less than 1µs, low leakage current, high surge current ratings, and low capacitance. Its fast response time provides effective protection against ESD and lightning strikes. It is well suited for a variety of applications including camera systems, communications equipment, industrial controls, consumer electronics, and RF systems. Additionally, it is well suited for automotive applications such as dashboards, ECUs, and airbag triggers.

The PGSMAJ16A R3G works on the principle of two reverse breakdown Zener diodes in series. When an over-voltage transient appears across the device, one of the diodes will break down, essentially short-circuiting the transient and limiting the voltage across the protected load. If the voltage exceeds the Zener breakdown voltage, the diode will conduct, causing a voltage drop and limiting the peak voltage to a safe level.

The PGSMAJ16A R3G device offers reliable overvoltage and ESD protection for sensitive electronics. Its fast response time and low capacitance make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, its low leakage current ensures that the protected electronics remain safe and unaffected by the protection circuit. The device is capable of providing long-term reliability and is suitable for high temperature applications. The PGSMAJ16A R3G is available in a variety of packages, allowing for a flexible and customizable solution to meet the needs of customers.
