TMPG06-12A-E3/73

TMPG06-12A-E3/73 is a part of the TVS – Diode family. TVS Diode, or transient voltage suppressor, is a device that is structured to protect electrical equipment from voltage transients that can be caused by lightning, power line surges, and electrostatic discharge. The TMPG06-12A-E3/73 is a sinter-glass diode designed to provide reliable overvoltage protection against surges on PCBs. This diode can withstand multiple unidirectional impulses up to 6.5kA and reverse surge current to 12A.

Application Field

TMPG06-12A-E3/73 can be used as a static discharge protection, such as for cars, airplanes, communication systems, PLC boards, electric boards, data communication and networks, and other equipments and systems.

This device is perfect for a wide variety of applications that address consumer, industrial, healthcare, telecom, and networking applications. Its footprint is minimized to fit densely packed PCB designs while still providing excellent overvoltage protection.

Working Principle

The TMPG06-12A-E3/73 device works by using a sinter-glass diode to absorb excess energy and dissipate it as heat. This energy is absorbed by the device and converted into heat, and it will not pass beyond the sinter-glass diode. The diode is able to take the extra energy and dissipate it quickly to prevent the voltage from building up and damaging the electrical equipment.

The diode is designed to have a very quick response time, typically within nanoseconds. This helps to prevent the transient voltage from causing any damage to the system or the device being protected.

The diode has also been designed for high density mounting, so it is able to integrate very easily into PCBs and other electrical systems. This makes it a great solution for engineers that need to provide protection for their sensitive electronic devices, as it can be mounted quickly and easily.

The device is also designed for low profile mounting so that the user can take advantage of its small size and reduce the amount of space that the device takes up in the system.

Conclusion

The TMPG06-12A-E3/73 is an excellent choice for engineers that need to provide reliable transient voltage protection. The device has a quick response time and a compact form factor, making it ideal for densely packed and low-profile applications. It is also reliable, able to withstand multiple unidirectional impulses and reverse surge current to 12A. This makes it perfect for all types of applications, from consumer to industrial.
