SA8.5C-E3/73

SA8.5C-E3/73 belongs to the family of TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) Diodes. It is a type of unidirectional and self-protected semiconductor device that limits the application of voltage transients across its terminals. TVS Diode plays an important role in protecting electrical equipment by controlling voltage spikes that often occur in harsh environment.

SA8.5C-E3/73 features an extremely wide working voltage range and low clamping voltage. It is suitable for use in portable device, cellular phone, notebook PC, PDA, & surveillance equipment. This diode is able to protects these equipments from voltage spikes of up to 8.5V.

The working principle of SA8.5C-E3/73 is rather simple. It is composed of two semiconductor layers, one of P-type and the other of N-type materials. When the voltage exceeding the breakdown voltage, the diode will become conductive and quickly dissipate the surge current. The diode is designed to begin conducting when input voltage exceeds its peak pulse power rating. Thus, it functions as a buffer for the excessive voltage surges and prevents the destruction of other connected components.

SA8.5C-E3/73 provides automatic protection electric equipment from voltage transients as it is less susceptible to external noise. As it is a bidirectional diode, it is able to protect circuit when both positive and negative transient occurs. It can also handle peak pulse power with surge durability up to 1000W.

SA8.5C-E3/73 is often found in the field of automotive electronics, portable electronics and industrial components. It provides customers with more than sufficient protection from voltage transient ranging from 5V to 8.5V. All in all, SA8.5C-E3/73 serves as a reliable component in numerous applications.
