SZNUP4016P5T5G

TVS, which stands for Transient Voltage Suppressors, are an essential type of semiconductor electronic component primarily used to prevent damage to sensitive electrical system components such as I/O boards, circuit breakers, and resistors, due to overvoltage conditions such as electrostatic discharge (ESD). The SZNUP4016P5T5G is a rated 1500 Watt (peak pulse) low capacitance unidirectional TVS Diode Array which is ideally suited for high-speed data line protection applications and offers very low capacitance.

Application Field

The SZNUP4016P5T5G is ideal for protecting downstream equipment from the damaging effects of overvoltage conditions such as ESD, lightning surges, and other transients. It is suitable for use in high-speed data line protection applications such as Ethernet, USB 2.0, HDMI, and other similar applications where low capacitance is paramount. In addition, it is capable of suppressing overvoltage on ground lines in industrial equipment, computers, and peripherals.

Working Principle

The working principle of the SZNUP4016P5T5G is quite simple yet effective. The device is composed of several parallel diodes connected in series in an array. When an overvoltage occurs, the diodes become forward biased and the TVS absorbs the voltage. This action protects the device from any further damage and allows the system to continue functioning properly. In order to provide effective protection, the TVS has to be able to dissipate the energy of the transient to a level below a specified value.

In addition to its low capacitance, the SZNUP4016P5T5G offers surge protection capability of 30A for 8/20microsecond waveforms, high surge current handling capability of 150A peak, and low dynamic resistance of 0.02 ohms. Moreover, it is compliant with IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4 standards, both of which are requirements for ensuring superior high-speed data line protection. Overall, the SZNUP4016P5T5G is an ideal choice for protecting downstream equipment from overvoltage conditions caused by ESD, lightning, and other transients.

Conclusion

The SZNUP4016P5T5G is a versatile and reliable TVS Diode Array. It provides excellent protection from high-speed transient voltage such as ESD, lightning, and other surges. Its low capacitance combined with its high surge current handling capabilities and compliance with industry standards makes it ideal for use in many different types of sensitive electrical systems.
