TVS - Diodes

Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) devices are a type of diode that is specifically designed to protect circuits from voltage transients induced by lightning and other transient voltage events. The TPD2E007DCKR is a Uni-directional diode specifically designed to protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electrical fast transients (EFT) up to 20A peak current. This device is commonly used in automotive, consumer, and industrial applications.

Application Field

The TPD2E007DCKR can be used in automotive applications such as providing ESD protection for data lines, power lines, and RF communication lines. Other automotive applications include low-voltage circuit protection and controlling current in a power supply. It can also be used in consumer devices such as tablets, phones, and computers to provide ESD protection for data lines. Furthermore, it can be used in industrial applications such as controlling current in a DC power supply and providing ESD protection for data lines.

Working Principle

The TPD2E007DCKR works by absorbing transient voltages and diverting them away from sensitive components. It is a unidirectional device that only offers protection in one direction, meaning it will allow current to flow in one direction but will not allow current to flow in the opposite direction. When an excessive voltage is applied to the device, it “triggers” and conducts the current away from the protected circuit. The TPD2E007DCKR has a high surge current rating and a low capacitance for high-speed data lines.

Benefits

One of the main benefits of using the TPD2E007DCKR is its ability to protect delicate electronic components from ESD and other transient voltage events. It offers a high surge current rating and a low capacitance for high-speed data lines. Additionally, it is very small and easy to mount on circuit boards, making it ideal for portable devices. As a result, it is an excellent device for automotive, consumer, and industrial applications.
