SZP6SMB82CAT3G

TVS - Diodes, also known as Transient Voltage Suppression Diodes, are a form of semiconductor used to protect a circuit from transients between ground and power, or power and ground. They are commonly used to protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning, power-on surges, or other electrical transients. The SZP6SMB82CAT3G is a transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode that offers excellent protection against transient voltage surges and is commonly used in automotive and industrial applications.

The SZP6SMB82CAT3G is a two-terminal surface mount TVS diode that consists of a zener diode and a protective layer. The diode has a maximum reverse breakdown voltage of 6V and a maximum capacitance of 180pF. The device operates within a temperature range of -55 to +150°C and has an operating frequency range of 1MHz to 5GHz. It has a clamping voltage of 6.8V and a breakdown voltage of 9V with a capacitance of 180pF. Its peak surge power dissipation is 190W and its average power dissipation is 5W.

The primary function of the SZP6SMB82CAT3G is to protect a circuit from transient voltage surges. It acts like a fuse in that it limits the amount of voltage that is allowed to enter the circuit. When the transient voltages exceed the breakdown voltage of the diode, it will quickly conduct the excess voltage back to the power source. This protects the circuit from being damaged by the surge of voltage. It also provides a clamping voltage that limits the amount of voltage that may enter the circuit.

The SZP6SMB82CAT3G is widely used in automotive and industrial applications. It is often used to protect ECUs, PC boards, and other sensitive electronics from transient voltage surges caused by lightning strikes or power outages. It is also used to protect communication systems from RF or electromagnetic interference. It can be used in distributed power supplies, automotive engine control units, motor controllers, portable medical devices, instrumentation systems, and LED lighting systems.

In conclusion, the SZP6SMB82CAT3G is a two-terminal surface mount TVS diode that is used to protect a circuit from transient voltage surges. It acts like a fuse and limits the amount of voltage that can enter the circuit, while also providing a clamping voltage that limits the amount that can be applied during a surge. It is used in a wide range of applications in the automotive and industrial sectors and is particularly useful for protecting sensitive electronic components from damage due to voltage surges.
