SA60A-E3/73

The SA60A-E3/73 is a TVS - Diodes designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by lightning and other transient voltage events. It is a unidirectional device designed to shield the circuit from damaging opposite-polarity transients.

The SA60A-E3/73 performs its protection role by responding to high peak voltages and quickly switching the excess voltage to ground. This function acts as an alternative current path that helps to divert the high currents that usually accompany a transient event. The maximum allowable peak pulse current for the SA60A-E3/73 is 60 amperes.

The SA60A-E3/73 is suitable for use in various types of electrical equipment, including personal computers, cellular phones, printers, USB ports, electronic motor controls, telecommunications and other similar types of equipment. The diode can also be used in other applications that require protection from spurious transients.

The SA60A-E3/73 has a low clamping voltage and low leakage current, which makes it suitable for use in various types of applications. It typically prevents multiple strikes and can even survive nasty lightning surges. Its fast response time ensures that no damage is done to the protected components, and it can be used in applications up to 5kV.

The SA60A-E3/73 works on the principle of voltage suppression. It is capable of responding and suppressing voltage transients in a matter of microseconds. It provides a low impedance path to ground when there is a surge, allowing the excess current generated by the surge to be diverted away from the equipment, thus protecting it from damage. The device also acts as a surge absorber, providing an alternate path for the current to flow through, preventing permanent damage to the equipment.

Apart from its application in electrical and electronic equipment, the SA60A-E3/73 can also be used in industrial systems, automotive systems, power systems, and industrial instrumentation. Its high-performance characteristics and fast response times make it highly reliable and suitable for applications where protection from transient voltage events is essential.

The SA60A-E3/73 is a reliable, cost-effective and efficient TVS - Diodes that can be used to protect equipment from transient voltage events, while still offering high-performance and a fast response time. With its low clamping voltage and low leakage current, it is suitable for use in a variety of applications, including those in the industrial, automotive, power and instrumentation fields.
