TVS diodes are a type of component that is used to protect sensitive devices from voltage spikes. The SMAJ16AHR3G is a TVS diode that offers a range of features to help protect attached devices from damage. In this article, we examine the application field and working principle of the SMAJ16AHR3G.

Application Field

The SMAJ16AHR3G is typically used to protect data lines from damage caused by electrostatic discharge or other types of voltage spikes. It can be used in a variety of electronics, ranging from computer motherboards and HDD drives to cell phones and laptops. The SMAJ16AHR3G also provides a level of protection to sensitive components in automotive and aerospace applications.

The SMAJ16AHR3G is also capable of protecting equipment from lightning strikes. For this, the diode would need to be installed in an equipotential bonding network in order to provide adequate protection.

Working Principle

The SMAJ16AHR3G utilizes two diodes in series in order to limit voltage transients. When voltage spikes occur, the diodes conduct current to provide protection. The central connection point between the two diodes helps to dissipate large amounts of heat, which would otherwise damage sensitive components.

The SMAJ16AHR3G clamping voltage is designed to absorb hundreds of volts safely, allowing it to protect equipment from even the most severe voltage spikes. This voltage is adjustable, which allows the device to be tailored to suit different applications. The clamping voltage can range from 12.5V to 48V depending on the specific requirements of the application.

Going further, the SMAJ16AHR3G also has an ESD protection rating of 25kV. This ensures that the diode is able to protect many types of electronic equipment from electrostatic discharge.

Conclusion

The SMAJ16AHR3G is a versatile TVS diode that can be used in a variety of applications. Its adjustable clamping voltage and ESD protection rating make it well-suited for protecting sensitive devices from both voltage spikes and electrostatic discharge.
