TVS - Diodes

Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes are components used to protect sensitive devices from high voltage transients. They are ideal for protecting sensitive electronic equipment from electrical fast transients (EFTs), electrostatic discharges (ESD) and other voltage related surges. The SMLJ18A-Q is a TVS diode that is widely used in many different applications.

The SMLJ18A-Q is designed to protect sensitive circuits from overvoltage transients. These transients can occur due to lightning, industrial motors or other electrical surges. The device is particularly suited for applications involving fast transients up to 1500 volts and often achieves a peak clamping voltage of about 1800 volts.

The SMLJ18A-Q is a robust, low-cost, high-reliability diode that offers excellent protection in many applications. It can be used for ESD protection in consumer electronics, automotive and industrial applications. In addition, its small size allows it to be integrated directly into circuit boards, enabling space savings. Due to its low capacitance and fast switching time, the SMLJ18A-Q is suitable for high-speed signal line protection.

Moreover, the SMLJ18A-Q is especially suitable for applications where a low clamping voltage and low leakage are desired. The device has a capability of up to 3000 volts surge withstanding capacity. Additionally, the low capacitance of the device enables it to respond faster to any overvoltage transients.

The SMLJ18A-QTVS diode works on a principle referred to as the avalanche breakdown effect. This effect limits the amount of voltage that is allowed to reach the device’s sensitive components. This is done by the diode conducting when the voltage across it reaches a certain magnitude. The device then dissipates the majority of the energy that would otherwise be damaging.

A variety of technologies are used to manufacture the SMLJ18A-Q. These include Zener diodes, metal-on-semiconductor, transient-free switching diodes, and avalanche breakdown diodes. Each provides a different level of protection to circuits, making the SMLJ18A-Q suitable for a variety of applications. Additionally, the device features low-capacitance and fast switching speeds.

The SMLJ18A-Q is capable of protecting devices in numerous applications. It is often used in the automotive industry for ESD and surge protection, as well as in consumer electronics, industrial systems and medical applications. Additionally, its fast switching speed and low capacitance allow it to be used in high-speed signal line protection. The SMLJ18A-Q is also widely used in power supplies and server rack power distribution units.

In conclusion, the SMLJ18A-Q TVS diode is a robust, reliable and economical solution for protecting a variety of applications from voltage transients. The device features low-capacitance and fast switching times, allowing it to provide timely protection for sensitive electronics devices or systems, making it a popular choice in many industries. Its avalanche breakdown effect enables it to dissipate the bulk of the energy from transients, thus preventing damage to the electronic components.
