SA36AHB0G

A Transient Voltage Suppressor, or TVS, is a specialized diode designed to protect electronic circuits against high voltage transients (momentary surges) usually caused by lightning strikes or inductive switching. TVS diodes help protect equipment by diverting, absorption, or clamping the spike voltage. The SA36AHB0G is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed especially for protection of sensitive electronic components against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and lightning strikes.

The SA36AHB0G is a member of Sensitron\'s S Series family of ESD sensitive devices which are designed to provide protection to components with an ESD sensitivity of up to 15 kV. The device is made using a non-linear silicon diode and has a maximum breakdown voltage of 15.5V. It is available in a compact 0603 package and has a reverse leakage current of typically 2.9uA at 15V. The device features a low clamping voltage of 9.2V for ESD protection.

The SA36AHB0G is designed for pick and place, reflow soldering, wave soldering, and die attach inspection and other circuit board installations. The device is ideal for use in consumer, telecommunications and military applications. The device also has good common-mode rejection performance, making it an ideal choice for applications that require immunity to transient sources such as ESD or high voltage transients. The SA36AHB0G can withstand up to six thousand surges (including double, triple, and quadruple pulses) with a breakdown voltage of 15.5V.

The working principle of SA36AHB0G is based on the principle that all electrical circuits maintain a stable voltage level. When the capacitor of a circuit discharges, a certain voltage difference is created between the two points of the circuit. This voltage difference is referred to as the breakdown voltage. When the voltage exceeds this breakdown voltage, the device will conduct current and dissipate the excess energy.

The device can absorb the energy from the transient electrical surge and protect the circuit by reducing the voltage to a level that is safe for the circuit. The SA36AHB0G TVS diode can absorb up to 6,000 volts of transient surge energy and is capable of dissipating up to 15 watts of power. This ensures that the circuit is protected from any unexpected surges.

The SA36AHB0G is designed with a wide clamping voltage range from 6V up to 15.5V depending on the application. The device also has a low capacitance of 0.7 pF, which helps reduce transmission line reflections and crosstalk. The device is RoHS compliant and meets the requirements of safety standards such as IEC and UL.

The SA36AHB0G Transient Voltage Suppressor diode is ideal for providing protection from electrostatic discharge and other transient sources of voltage. The device is compact, has a low capacitance, and can withstand up to 6,000 surges. Additionally, the device meets a wide range of safety standards. These features make it ideal for protecting electronic components in consumer, military, and telecommunications applications.
