SM6S14AHE3/2D

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are well-known components that are used to protect electronic circuits from high voltage electrical transients. The SM6S14AHE3/2D is one of the TVS diodes developed to efficiently protect circuits from high speed voltage surges, transient overvoltages, and surge protection in an enclosed environment. It is a low leakage diode designed for automotive and automotive-related applications.

The SM6S14AHE3/2D is an exceptional diode for transient protection applications because it has high power and low capacitance. The diode is configured in a single series of diodes with a single common anode. Each diode features a low-leakage structure with a low internal junction capacitance, allowing it to respond to fast rise times. It is also used in situations where the switch must handle large voltage and current pulses.

The most common application of this diode is in protecting electronic components from over-voltage transient events. The diode is designed to handle the high current conditions created by these transients, allowing it to protect the electronics from damage. The SM6S14AHE3/2D is also used in a variety of automotive application including ESD protection, high voltage over-voltage protection, inrush current suppression, and reverse bias protection.

The working principle of the SM6S14AHE3/2D is relatively straightforward. The diode is connected in series between the power supply and the protected electronic circuit. When an over-voltage surge occurs, the diode rapidly redirects the excess current, limiting the voltage to the protected circuit. The diode has a low forward voltage drop, allowing it to respond quickly to transient events. During normal operation, the diode does not conduct current and the protected circuit is not affected.

The SM6S14AHE3/2D is an excellent choice for many automotive and automotive-related applications. Its low leakage, high power, and fast response time make it well-suited for protecting a wide range of circuits. Its compact size and low cost make it an attractive choice for cost-sensitive applications. Ultimately, the SM6S14AHE3/2D is an ideal solution for a variety of transient protection applications.
