Working Principle:

SMF7V0A-HM3-18 TVS diode works through breakdown voltage. When the applied voltage is below the breakdown voltage, it will remain in the non-conductive state. When the applied voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, it suddenly conducts. The diode will infer current to the interfacing circuit, hence protecting the system from the dangerous spikes.

The working principle of SMF7V0A-HM3-18 allows it to be used as an effective protection device in a wide range of applications. It also offers reliable protection against transient electrical and breakdown currents.
