SA170CA B0G

The SA170CA B0G TVS diode is an electronic device that is used to protect a circuit from damage due to an overvoltage. It is a peak pulse power dissipation of 170 watts and can handle up to 1,000 volts of surge voltage. It has a unidirectional characteristic with a low reverse leakage current.

Application Field

The SA170CA B0G TVS diode is mainly used for applications such as automotive, telecom, consumer, lighting, and industrial. It is used in protection applications such as automotive controllers, automotive ignition and audio systems, telecom equipment, consumer and industrial electronics, LED lighting systems, and general electronic applications. It can be used to safeguard from high voltage spikes, such as electrostatic discharge, lightning, and induced transient voltage.

Working Principle

The SA170CA B0G TVS diode works by dissipating electrical energy to protect the components in the circuit. It has a positive clamping voltage that rapidly diverts excess voltage away from the circuit. When the overvoltage reaches the breakdown voltage of the diode, it begins to conduct in the reverse direction, dissipating the energy in the form of heat with very low impedance. The SA170CA B0G can handle surge power up to 170 watts, which makes it an ideal choice for robust power protection.

Conclusion

The SA170CA B0G TVS diode is a versatile and reliable electronic device designed for protection from overvoltage in a wide range of applications. It can handle up to 1,000 volts of surge voltage, and can dissipate up to 170 watts of surge power, making it an ideal choice for power protection.
