SL12.TCT Circuit Protection

TVS diodes, such as SL12.TCT, are special types of diodes which have been developed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from hostile electrical surges. The term TVS stands for “Transient Voltage Suppression”. TVS diodes can handle fast-rising electric transients, as well as relatively large voltages, with minimal power dissipation. As such, they are ideal for providing protection against dangerous spikes that may occur in the circuitry, or in the environment.

SL12.TCT, as a type of TVS diode, is specifically developed for use in specialized applications. It is a special type of fast-recovery, low-capacitance, a static device meant for transient suppression. It provides greater voltage clamping in applications such as system power protection, as well as high-speed data and signal line protection. SL12.TCT is designed to operate with extremely low capacitance, resulting in superior signal integrity.

The working principle of SL12.TCT is in line with that of other TVS diodes. It has a voltage clamping characteristic that is triggered when a pre-determined reverse voltage is exceeded. At the same time, the diode offers fast switching and fast recovery time and is capable of clamping and suppressing an incoming voltage spike or surge. The diode switches off and dissipates the energy of the incoming voltage spike before it can damage the components of the protected circuit.

SL12.TCT has a peak pulse power rating of 12,000 watt, a reverse stand-off voltage of 15 volts, and a reverse clamping voltage of 27.6 volts. The device exhibits very low leakage current for up to 1,000 hours. It can be used in a wide range of temperatures (from -65°C to +125°C) and also allows for the use of a variety of substrates.

SL12.TCT has been designed to provide efficient and reliable protection of any kind of circuitry, from audio equipment to sensitive equipment and devices. The device has been tested and certified according to international standards, guaranteeing superior performance and reliability. As such, SL12.TCT is a perfect choice for anyone looking for an extremely reliable protection solution.
