TV15C130J-G Circuit Protection

TV15C130J-G is an example of a TVS diode. It is designed to protect electronic equipment from transient overvoltage damage and to suppress electrical noise. TVS diodes are an effective and reliable method for surge and voltage transient suppression. Transient overvoltage is stress generated when a transient surge exceeds the breakdown voltage levels of the power circuits. This can cause irreparable damage to the semiconductor devices connected to the power system and to the system itself. TVS diodes provide electrical clamping protection for sensitive components

Applications

TV15C130J-G is suitable for a wide range of applications including mobile phones, laptops, personal computers, automotive circuits, power modules, point-of-sale (POS) terminals, telecom and broadband equipment, industrial equipment, and consumer electronic devices. In addition, TV15C130J-G is suitable for use in environments where board level ESD protection is required. It is also used in applications requiring voltage and transient voltage surge protection.

Working Principle

TV15C130J-G is a unidirectional TVS diode designed to protect against severe voltage transient events in a variety of applications. The device incorporates a Zener-protective region on the anode for added protection. It also features a low turn-on voltage and fast response time. The TV15C130J-G works using the following principle. When a voltage transient exceeding its rated breakdown voltage is applied to the diode, the electrical energy is absorbed and then dissipated in the form of heat. This eliminates the possibility of damage to the connected components by effectively limiting the rise in voltage and reducing the associated current.

Package and Dimensions

TV15C130J-G comes in a surface-mount SOD-323 package with dimensions: 3.00 x 2.00 x 1.30mm. It is RoHS compliant and UL-listed. The device is suitable for reflow, wave, and manual soldering. It can operate in temperatures ranging from -55°C to +150°C. It also utilizes moisture-resistant coating for use in difficult environmental conditions.

Conclusion

For applications requiring ESD, EMI, and surge or voltage transient protection, TV15C130J-G is a reliable solution. It is robust, cost effective, and easy to install. With its low profile, high reliability, and fast response time, TV15C130J-G is an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
