SLD16-018-B Application Field and Working Principle

TVS - Diodes are rapidly developing a reputation as essential components of any modern electronic circuitry, as they can provide surge targeted protection against transients that can come from any number of sources. The SLD16-018-B is a transformer starter diode (TSD) that is specifically designed for data line surge protection and it can be deployed in a wide variety of industries – medical, aerospace, automotive, etc.

More specifically, the SLD16-018-B uses a electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device to protect the peripheral connection line between a laptop and a server, or between a printer and a laptop. It also provides protection against damaging transients due to lightning strikes, surges and other sources.

In order to understand how the SLD16-018-B works and what type of protection it provides, it’s important to understand its components. This device is equipped with a transformer starter diode (TSD) assembly, consisting of two separate components. A MOSFET transistor is the first component, and it acts as a bypass switch, allowing current to flow around the diode, while preventing it from forming a path for the current to flow backwards. The second component is an integrated circuit which controls the operation of the MOSFET transistor, providing a level of protection far beyond that of a standard diode.

The MOSFET transistor is the key factor in determining the level of protection that the SLD16-018-B provides. This transistor acts as a bridge, connecting the two components of the device. When a surge occurs, the transistor is triggered and the current is diverted away from the main circuit, thus providing effective protection from damaging transients. The integrated circuit then monitors the current and voltage levels in order to ensure that the bypass circuit remains activated until the surge ends.

In addition to the MOSFET, the SLD16-018-B also features a built-in auto-restoration circuit, which ensures that the protection is restored once the surge is over. This ability to self-restore is a great advantage when compared to other protection solutions, as it allows the device to automatically recover without any external intervention.

Due to the advanced protection provided by the SLD16-018-B, it can be used for a wide variety of applications in several different industries. Applications include protection of laptop and printer connections, data transmission lines, and even industrial power lines. Thanks to its high level of safety, reliability, and performance, the SLD16-018-B is quickly becoming one of the most popular TVS diodes on the market.
