TVS - Diodes

TVS diodes, also known as transient voltage suppressors, are components whose function is to protect electrical circuits from voltage spikes, including electrostatic discharges and surges produced in different electrical circuits or coming from outside sources. They are specially designed to conduct current when an over-voltage occurs, and clamp the voltage and absorb the energy to protect other elements in the electrical circuit.

SLD14-018-B Application Fields and Working Principle

The SLD14-018-B is an unidirectional TVS diode that can operate up to 14V at 18A, suitable for the protection of low voltage circuits, used in various applications to prevent damage to electrical devices caused by transient voltage spikes. The SLD14-018-B diode is commonly used in automotive applications such as airbag deployment systems, ABS control units, power locking system circuits or any other low voltage circuits exposed to a high level of voltage spikes.

The SLD14-018-B unidirectional TVS diode works on the principle of Zener breakdown. It utilizes Avalanche or Zener effect to clamp the voltage to a certain level when an over-voltage occurs. This diode is made from PN junction semiconductor which is capable of absorbing large amounts of energy during an over-voltage event. The SLD14-018-B restricts the over-voltage by diverting it away from the protected circuit and limits the voltage to a safe level. This device also exhibits low clamping characteristics which enable it to respond rapidly to transient over-voltages. After the voltage returns to its normal value, the SLD14-018-B diode returns to its non-conductive state until it is presented by a high voltage spike again.

Advantages of the SLD14-018-B

The SLD14-018-B has many advantages compared to other TVS diodes. It has a higher surge capability of 18A and can operate up to 14V. It also offers considerable power dissipation, low clamping voltage and low leakage current. In addition, its high peak power capability, fast response time, and low capacitance make this diode a great choice for low voltage applications.The SLD14-018-B also has low voltage drop and can withstand temperatures up to 150°C.

The SLD14-018-B is an ideal solution for protecting electrical systems from transient voltage spikes. Its fast response time, low leakage, and high power dissipation make it the perfect choice for applications where over-voltage protection is needed.
