Thyristor devices are used to control power in a range of electronic systems, from small consumer electronic products to large industrial machinery. The TSMBJ0512C is a special type of thyristor designed to offer maximum protection against over-voltage transients and to maintain operation until the source of the transient has dissipated. This article will discuss the application fields and working principle of the TSMBJ0512C thyristor.

The TSMBJ0512C is a thyristor type of Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS), designed for use in high-current applications. When used as a TVS, it works by clamping any voltage spikes or transients to a predetermined safe level. This ensures that any transient voltage does not exceed the design parameters of the device, thereby protecting it from damage. The TSMBJ0512C is suitable for use in a variety of industrial applications including electrical portable tools, appliances, and automotive electronic systems.

The working principle of the TSMBJ0512C involves three main components. When a voltage spike appears at the moment of switching on the device, the first component called Bidirected Thyristor will conduct current and cause a low voltage drop across the TSMBJ0512C. This event is termed “breakover”. If the circuit reaches a peak voltage exceeding the breakover voltage, the second component called avalanche diode turns on, providing additional external protection. Finally, the third component called the trigger diode cause the Thyristor to follow the breakover, thus completing the switching process. This sequence continues until the maximum voltage, known as the “clamp voltage”, is reached. This clamped voltage is kept at a consistent level until the transient event passes.

The TSMBJ0512C offers robust TVS protection, with low capacitance, fast response time and high overvoltage clamping ratios. It is well-suited to use in circuits such as those used in power-conditioning, ESD protection, data protection and in automotive electronics. The device is most often used in pairs in order to impose both a common-mode and a differential-mode transient protection for a variety of applications. This makes it an important and reliable part of any power conditioning system.

In summary, the TSMBJ0512C is a bidirectional thyristor type of Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS). This device is designed to protect industrial and automotive systems from over-voltage transients. The TSMBJ0512C is composed of three main components: the Bidirected Thyristor, the avalanche diode and the trigger diode, which together provide maximum protection for the system. The TSMBJ0512C is suitable for use in a variety of high-current power-conditioning applications, and is often used in pairs to provide both common-mode and differential-mode protection.
