PTVS30VS1UTR,115 Circuit Protection

TVS-Diodes are an important component used in many different electronic systems. These small devices are designed to protect against electrical transients in the form of voltage spikes. The PTVS30VS1UTR,115 (PTVS) is a Transient Voltage Suppressor diode designed to provide the highest level of system protection from transient spikes of up to 300 V.

This diode is a high quality, low capacitance, small-signal protection device. Its unique design incorporates a low clamp voltage feature to ensure maximum protection. Due to the higher voltage ratings and excellent performance of the PTVS, it is recommended for use in a wide variety of applications and is suitable for use in high voltage applications.

The PTVS is a low clamped voltage diode and is well suited for protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and transient electrical surges. It commonly uses a reverse biased MOSFET as a switching element in order to protect against power loss. The device has an inherent ESD protection of up to 8 kV (Human Body Model) and the PTVS can withstand shocks up to 15kV (Surface Discharge Model). To ensure the utmost level of protection, the PTVS is provided in an encapsulation to further protect against electric transients.

The working mechanism of the PTVS is similar to that of a Zener diode, in which it conducts current in the forward direction while diverting current in the reverse direction. This phenomenon occurs when a voltage higher than the breakdown voltage, which can be determined by the voltage rating of the PTVS, is present in the circuit. The diode will then clamp the voltage to the specified breakdown voltage to prevent any damage to the circuit. The PTVS also has the added ability to absorb large current in the event of any short circuiting.

The PTVS30VS1UTR,115 is suitable for a wide variety of applications, including over-voltage and over-current protection of microprocessors and microcontrollers, active matrix displays, data busses, and servers. Its ability to clamp the voltage at a certain level is also useful for protecting sensitive semiconductors such as MOSFETs, IGBTs, and ACTs. The PTVS is also used in external power supplies, power amplifiers, and audio equipment.

The PTVS30VS1UTR,115 is an effective protection device for numerous electronic systems. It is designed to provide maximum system protection against transient voltage spikes and ESD while being small and cost-effective. The PTVS is a highly reliable device and is suitable for a variety of applications, from industrial applications to consumer electronics.
