SM6S14A-E3/2D

Surge protection, when it comes to applications that require greater levels of protection, TVS diodes are a popular choice. The SM6S14A-E3/2D is one such diode that is designed specifically for applications that require protection from transient voltage surges. It offers a highly cost-effective solution by providing a low capacitance and ultra-low leakage current.

The SM6S14A-E3/2D is a three-terminal, bidirectional diode that was designed specifically to protect electronic devices from destructive overvoltage transients. It is used in many applications such as computers, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, automotive electronics, and electronic vending machines. The diode was designed to handle a wide range of transient responses from either direct or indirect lightning transients.

The SM6S14A-E3/2D offers a low on-state capacitance and ultra-low leakage current, which allows it to protect against overvoltage transients with minimal circuit disruption. The diode offers a low clamping voltage and excellent surge capability. It is also designed to operate in a wide temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. It is available in SOD-123, SOD-323, and SOT-223 packages.

The working principle of the SM6S14A-E3/2D TVS diode is based on the principle of avalanche breakdown. When a voltage spike occurs, the diode captures the surge and diverts it to the ground before it can damage the circuitry. The diode then quickly recovers its breakdown voltage after the surge has passed. This ensures that the circuits in the protected device are not damaged by the surge.

The SM6S14A-E3/2D diode is a very reliable and versatile device. It provides high levels of transient protection, low leakage current, and a wide operating temperature range. This makes it suitable for many applications including telecommunications, automotive, and industrial applications. It is a cost-effective choice for providing surge protection to any device.
