SLD24U-017-B

TVS-diodes are widely used in a variety of applications and the SLD24U-017-B is an attractive choice in this field. This particular diode is able to provide excellent protection against both electrostatic discharges (ESD) and transverse surge currents. It has an average surge current rating of 50A, a bipolar parasitic capacitance of 150pF, and a bidirectional clamping voltage of 24V. It is also RoHS compliant.

The SLD24U-017-B features a very low clamping ratio (CLR) of just 0.35V/A. This ensures that it provides reliable protection both against ESD currents as well as high-energy transverse surges. The device also has a fast response time of less than 1.0 ns, making it suitable for use in high-speed data signal protection applications.

The SLD24U-017-B is designed with a four-pad package, with two separate but equally sized pads on each side. This helps to ensure that the device can be accurately soldered and mounted in circuit boards, in order to provide reliable protection.

The working principle of the SLD24U-017-B is based on a concept known as "avalanche breakdown". This occurs when the voltage across the diode exceeds its breakdown voltage, causing a sudden increase in current through it. This sudden increase in current is then limited by the internal resistance of the diode, thus clamping the voltage to a safe level.

The SLD24U-017-B is an excellent choice for a variety of applications, including data line protection, consumer electronics, portable devices, automotive, and telecommunication applications. It is RoHS compliant and offers excellent protection against ESD and transverse surge currents.

Not only is the SLD24U-017-B an attractive choice due to its low clamping ratio and fast response time, but it is also relatively cheap compared to other TVS-diodes on the market. It is well worth considering for any application that requires high-quality, reliable, and cost-effective protection from ESD and transverse surge currents.
