PTVS3-430C

TVS - Diodes

PTVS3-430C is a unidirectional, triode, transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode. It has the capability to absorb high energy transient pulses of up to 430W in pulses of up to 10/1000seconds. It has been designed to guarantee fast response and low clamping voltage for comprehensive protection of sensitive electronic systems from damaging transients. It is the ideal device for applications requiring a wide range of operating temperatures, from -55°C to +175°C.

Application Field

PTVS3-430C is specifically designed for transient voltage suppression in high power applications, such as automotive, telecom, industrial, medical, military, and consumer markets. It can be used for the protection from external transient pulses through high-capacity internal chip capacitors, varistors, and other components. It is also suitable for use in battery packs and storage systems.

Working Principle

The working principle of PTVS3-430C is based on the fast response to an electrical surge or spike. When an overvoltage is caused due to a surge, the TVS diode will quickly conduct current and route it to the ground. Then the voltage will be reduced to an acceptable level and back to the ideal operation voltage. The internal chip capacitors, varistors, and other components help achieve this fast response.

Once the device deals with the surge, it\'ll automatically reset itself and come back to the ready state. By having such an automatic resetting feature, PTVS3-430C is capable of providing continuous protection from electrical surges and spikes.
