PTVS10-058C-SH Circuit Protection

TVS - Diodes: PTVS10-058C-SH application field and working principle

TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SUPPRESSOR (TVS) diodes are unique semiconductor devices that are used to protect sensitive electronics against significant electrical transients due to lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD) and power line transients. TVS diodes are often referred to as "TransZorbs" or "Voltage Varistors." These terms refer to the same type of device that protects against transient voltage events.

PTVS10-058C-SH is a popular TVS diode that is used in many different applications, ranging from consumer electronics to industrial equipment and commercial/industrial installations. The device is a low-profile, surface-mount component with a variety of features, including high surge capability and excellent clamping capabilities. It is suitable for use in a wide range of sensitive electronic circuits, such as those found in medical equipment, industrial automation, automotive, and consumer electronics.

The PTVS10-058C-SH offers a superior reverse breakdown voltage of 58 Volts. This device is also designed to protect against high-frequency energy events, and it has a maximum power dissipation (Pd) of 0.25 watts at 25°C ambient temperature.

Working Principle

The working principle of the PTVS10-058C-SH is fairly straightforward. When a transient voltage event occurs, the device quickly responds by clamping the voltage levels to the voltage rating indicated on the device. This ensures that the transient voltage level is never higher than 58 volts.

Once the transient voltage event ends, the PTVS10-058C-SH reverts back to its normal idle mode. This ensures that the device does not permanently damage the circuit that it is protecting. The device is well-suited for use in high-frequency circuits, since it responds quickly to transient voltage events and it can handle high-frequency energy without permanently damaging the circuit.
