TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes play a key role in many electronics applications, such as power supplies, systems with high-speed data transmission, and computer circuits. The TPC16CAHM3/H is a unidirectional TVS diode designed to protect components from inductive and overvoltage surges, and is commonly used in automotive electronics.

The TPC16CAHM3/H is a through-hole bi-directional diode with 16 leads. It is a low-power TVS diode with an operating voltage range of 16V to 78V. The device offers a surge current protection of 600 W peak pulse power (ppp) per unidirectional configuration. It also has a clamping voltage of 14 to 28V. The diode is RoHS lead-free compliant and can be used in a wide temperature range from -55 to +150°C.

The working principle of the TPC16CAHM3/H is based on its unique design. The diode is constructed from two adjacent, parallel-connected diodes connected in series. When an overvoltage surge occurs, the current enters the device through the anode end and is distributed among the two parallel-connected diodes. The current then flows to the cathode end of the diode. Since the current is restricted and forced through a narrower and shorter channel, the voltage is also clamped down, suppressing the surge. Thus, the device can protect electronic components from dangerous overvoltage and inductive surges.

The TPC16CAHM3/H is suitable for a wide range of applications. Its low-power properties make it ideal for use in automotive electronics, where power consumption is a concern. It can also be used in communications systems, data processing systems, power supplies, and other systems that are prone to inductive and overvoltage surges. Additionally, it is useful in devices such as cameras and antennas, which require protection from electrical interference.

Surge protection is essential in today’s electronic devices. The TPC16CAHM3/H TVS diode offers reliable protection from overvoltage and inductive surges, and is suitable for a variety of applications. Its unique design ensures that the device clamps down the voltage during surges, thus providing protection to components against dangerous and damaging surges.
