SPHV15-01KTG-C Circuit Protection

Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes are designed to protect sensitive electronics from voltage transients. TVS diodes come in a variety of packages and configurations, but all are designed to limit the voltage that can pass through them. The SPHV15-01KTG-C is a TVS diode designed to protect high-speed data lines and interfaces from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrical transients.

The SPHV15-01KTG-C is a bi-directional (uni-polar) diode, meaning that current can travel in either direction through the diode. This is important for protecting circuits which may have signals flowing in either direction, as it effectively clamps any reverse voltage to a much lower value. The SPHV15-01KTG-C also has an initial breakdown voltage of 13.6 V, meaning that it will not start to conduct until the voltage exceeds 13.6 V. This makes it suitable for use in a wide variety of applications, including sensitive microprocessor based circuits and other high-speed devices.

The SPHV15-01KTG-C is ideal for use in automotive, telecommunication and consumer applications. It is rated for 9 A peak pulse current at a 10/1000 μs pulse and a repetition rate of up to 1 kHz. This is ideal for protecting circuits from electrical transients and power surges, as it can absorb up to 9 A of current. It has a low capacitance of 1.6 pF and a low leakage current of 0.2 μA, making it well-suited for protecting high speed data lines and interfaces like Ethernet and USB.

The SPHV15-01KTG-C TVS diode has a wide range of applications, from protecting automotive circuits from EMI to protecting sensitive microprocessor and high-speed devices from transient voltages. It is rated to handle up to 9 A of current, and its low capacitance and leakage current make it ideal for use in high-speed circuits. It is a uni-directional (bi-directional) diode, meaning that current can travel in either direction through it. This makes it a great choice for protecting circuits that have signals flowing in either direction, while still providing the protection needed from transient voltages.
