TGL41-6.8A-E3/96 Circuit Protection

Transient Voltage Suppression diodes, more commonly known as TVSs, are used to protect equipment from overvoltage damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD), surges, and spikes in voltage. The TGL41-6.8A-E3/96 is a diode designed to provide surge protection for DC power supplies, AC static loads, and machine controls. This article will explain the application field and working principle of TGL41-6.8A-E3/96.

Application Field

The TGL41-6.8A-E3/96 is mainly used for ESD and surge protection for AC static loads or DC power supplies. It can be used to provide protection for an array of applications including digital and analog systems, power supplies, drive and control systems, as well as consumer and industrial electronics. This product is also ideal for protecting large scale machinery, such as pumps, motors, and production lines.

Working Principle

The TGL41-6.8A-E3/96 is a breakdown diode that acts as a voltage limiter, clamping excessive voltage values and protecting against transients and surges. It consists of a specially-shaped cathode with a separate anode and gate electrodes. The voltage difference between the anode and gate, also known as the voltage breakdown value, is the current at which the vice activates. Upon activation, it cuts off the current path, allowing only the clamped surge to safely pass through. This design ensures minimal component losses and high-level overvoltage protection.

Conclusion

The TGL41-6.8A-E3/96 is a diode designed to provide surge protection for DC power supplies, AC static loads, and machine controls. It can be used to Safeguard against ESD and surge protection, and is suitable for a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to production lines. Its breakdown diode design allows it to clamp excessive voltages and protect against transients and surges.
