Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode is a special type of diode, also known in other language variations such as Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) Diode. It is designed to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage transients, which are short duration, high voltage spikes, referred to as transients. They typically occur in the power supply lines and digital signals of electronic circuits. These transient spikes can cause esd, latch up, and other circuit failures.

SM6T18A-E3/5B is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) designed for Consumer, Telecom, Automotive and computing applications. It is specifically designed for line to ground applications.

It is easy to use and it features a low power dissipation and minimal acoustic noise. The maximum power dissipation limit is limited to 500 mW. Its peak Pulse Power Rating is 1800 Watts.

SM6T18A-E3/5B is typically used in applications which require transient protection for printed circuit board components such as timers, integrated circuits and power supplies. It is also used to protect exterior devices from coming in contact with voltage transients such as human bodies, trees, bugs, etc. It can be connected across non-grounded and grounded points of a power supply.

SM6T18A-E3/5B is a multi-layer non-climate sensitive device. That means it will be able to withstand extreme temperature and humidity fluctuations without any problems. It has a stand off voltage of 18 volts and a breakdown voltage of 40 volts.

The working principle of SM6T18A-E3/5B is simple. It is designed to detect and absorb voltage transients, as described above. When a voltage transient occurs, the diode will conduct the additional energy and turn it into heat. This protects the sensitive components from any potential damage that could be caused by the transient.

It is important to note that the breakdown voltage for TVS diodes should be higher than the normal operating voltage of the device in order to ensure the device\'s protection from various transient surges.

SM6T18A-E3/5B is an effective solution for providing protection from voltage transients. It has a fast response time and low reverse leakage, which makes it well-suited for applications requiring real-time (instantaneous) protection. It is a cost-effective and reliable solution, which makes it a popular choice for many different types of circuits.
