SMDA24C-7.TBT

TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diodes are components designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from harmful voltage transients or surges. SMDA24C-7.TBT is an advanced series of TVS diodes, designed specifically for AC/DC application in data/signal line protection.

Application

SMDA24C-7.TBT diodes can be used in a wide variety of applications, which includes personal computers, medical equipment, consumer electronics, communication equipment, and other equipment that requires protection against voltage transients. It is a unidirectional device, used to prevent a voltage transient from damaging a sensitive component, such as a data input line. This helps to safeguard a piece electronics from overvoltage damage, caused by electrostatic discharge, power lines, or other environmental conditions.

Working Principle

When a voltage transient exceeds the breakdown voltage of the diode, it starts to conduct electricity. This effectively shunts the excess voltage away from a sensitive component, either by diverting it to ground or to the power supply. SMDA24C-7.TBT provides increased protection against high-energy transients, compared to other types of TVS diodes. The high peak power ratings allow them to divert more energy away from the circuit and reduce the chances of circuit failure.

The reverse stand-off voltage ratings of these diodes are also higher than those of other TVS diodes. This allows them to be used in higher voltage applications, where the input voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of other types of TVS diodes. The reverse leakage current of the diode is also much lower than that of other types of TVS diodes, making them ideal for use in high-frequency applications.

Conclusion

The SMDA24C-7.TBT series of TVS diodes provides superior performance and protection against high-energy voltage transients. With their high peak power ratings, high reverse stand-off voltage ratings, and low reverse leakage current, they are ideal for AC/DC data/signal lines and other applications. These characteristics make them the preferred choice for many designers, who require protection against voltage transients.
