SZ1SMA58CAT3G

TVS – diodes are transverse voltage suppressors used to absorb excessive electrical energy, limiting it within a predefined range. The SZ1SMA58CAT3G is a particularly advanced model composed of an array of silicon avalanche diodes. Its main purpose is to protect electronic and electrical equipment from transient over voltages, protecting it from electrical damage.

The SZ1SMA58CAT3G can support up to 600W transient peak pulse power per line, with a 6kA peak pulse current per line for a 10/1000us wave shape. Its maximum rating is also impressive, and includes 350W steady state power dissipation in parallel and 900W in series. With a working voltage of 18V to 36V, this device can operate in large temperature ranges, from -55°C to 150°C.

Although the SZ1SMA58CAT3G was designed with power distribution systems in mind, it is suitable for many applications around the world. The SEDC circuits inside dissipate excessive electrical surges in the same way as a surge suppressor. This makes them ideal for the protection of consumer electronics such as TVs, computers, and gaming consoles against instant power fluctuations. Furthermore, they are well-suited for the protection of industrial equipment such as CNC mills, robots, and industrial control systems.

When the SZ1SMA58CAT3G is in use, it acts as a bridge that diverts electrical current from the power supply of the device to the ground. If the current exceeds the predefined limit, the device absorbs the excess energy, protecting the device from potential damage. The key difference between traditional surge protectors and the SZ1SMA58CAT3G lies in the operating voltage; the former is designed to protect against low level spikes, whereas the SZ1SMA58CAT3G operates even if the voltage spikes up to 36V. It also features a bi-directional attitude, meaning it can intercept pulses generated both inside the protected device, or outside of it.

Overall, the SZ1SMA58CAT3G is a highly versatile product capable of protecting a wide range of electronics and industrial applications from over voltage damages. With its impressive ratings, it can also handle severe power spike ratings and can operate in a wide temperature range. Thanks to its design, the SZ1SMA58CAT3G is a reliable and efficient tool for the protection of industrial-grade and consumer-level electronics.
