TVS diodes, or Transient Voltage Suppressor Diodes, are essential elements in designing and building electronic systems and devices. They provide effective protection from activities outside the normal operating conditions of the circuit, including those stemming from lightning strikes, electrostatic discharges, and voltage spikes. One of the most important uses of TVS diodes is to provide protection against overvoltage, which can damage or even destroy sensitive components of a circuit. Overvoltages can be caused by a variety of events, including spikes in the power line, lightning strikes, signals transmitted over long distances, inductive loads, and voltage drops due to high current surges.

The TPC16AHM3/87A TVS diode is an important tool for eliminating abrupt overvoltage problems. Designed to protect against high-energy surge transients, the TPC16AHM3/87A is capable of handling power line spikes and being subjected to strong overloads. It is a low profile, compact, and thermally efficient product that can be used in a variety of different designs.

The TPC16AHM3/87A\'s main application field is in power supply and power line protection. It has a surge current capability of up to 33 amperes, and can handle up to a 38 V transient voltage. The diode also features a low clamping voltage, along with low leakage current for improved efficiency and accuracy.

The TPC16AHM3 also features an integrated MOV (metal oxide varistor) to ensure robust protection from surges. This varistor works by sensing overvoltages and redirecting the excess energy into its body. The TPC16AHM3 also features an excellent thermal resistance, which allows it to stay cool even during peak current load times. The product\'s low power rating ensures low power consumption and an extended life.

The working principle of the TPC16AHM3/87A is based on its ability to conduct when a certain voltage, called the peak pulse power level (PPPL), is reached. This PPPL is usually between 10 volts and 38 volts, depending on the model. When the applied voltage or current exceeds this level, the MOV in the TPC16AHM3/87A opens up and allows the excess energy to be safely dissipated. The MOV then closes when the voltage or current returns to normal.

The PPPL of the TPC16AHM3/87A is set by two adjustable components, the avalanche voltage and the peak pulse current. The avalanche voltage is adjusted with a potentiometer, while the peak pulse current is adjusted by a jumper on the component\'s circuit board. The PPPL can be adjusted according to the individual application, and in order to ensure optimal protection.

The TPC16AHM3/87A is a useful and reliable solution for power line protection. It is a small, low-profile device that can be used in both residential and industrial applications, offering reliable protection from overvoltage and power surges. Its adjustable components make it easy to tailor the PPPL to specific applications, meaning it can be used in a variety of application fields and ensure reliable protection.
