TV06B200JB-HF

TVS - Diodes

TV06B200JB-HF is a semiconductor device that performs more functions than a traditional diode. Along with clamping, TVS diodes also offers protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, and electrostatic discharge. This distinguishing factor which sets the TVS diode apart from the traditional diode is its ability to absorb transient voltages and currents, helping to reduce surges in voltage and helping protect agains damage to the device.

Application Field

TV06B200JB-HF are ideal for a variety of applications where transient voltage protection is desired, most especially for supplying the ideal amount of over-voltage protection against thunderstorms, lightning, power line surges, and EMI. Among many of the application fields for the TVS diode are automotive, computers, telecommunications, consumer electronics, industrial controls, and military/aerospace.

Working Principle

The basic working principle of the TVS diode is its high-voltage bidirectional take up of power. When triggered by an overvoltage spike, the diode will have the capability of absorbing both positive and negative transients. The diode’s Avalanche breakdown is less destructive compared to the intrinsic breakdown. During reverse bias, the Avalanche breakdown occurs, allowing for quick response in responding to the overvoltage situation. The voltage is then absorb by the device allowing for the protection of the equipment or device which is connected to the diode.

Characteristics

In order to be effective, the TVS diode must have high peak pulse power which it exhibits when triggered, such as power ratings greater than 100 W and peak voltages between 400V and 800V. It must also be able to handle repetitive transients, a desired low leakage current, and withstand large physical forces, such as vibration, shock, and temperature changes.

Conclusion

The TV06B200JB-HF is a very critical component in many applications because of its ability to guard against transients like lightning strikes, electrostatic discharge, and sudden power surges, all of which could lead to disastrous failure. Its speed response time and components integrated into the design make it an ideal part to incorporate into consumer electronics and industrial control applications, which can be found in multiple market segments.
