TV30C170JB-G

TVS - Diodes

The TV30C170JB-G is a Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diode. It is designed to provide protection against overvoltage transients or surges. This is an important component for most modern electronics systems, as voltage transients can cause serious damage to electronic components if left unchecked.

Application Field

TV30C170JB-G diodes are often used in motor control systems, industrial control circuits, and consumer electronics. They are also used to protect sensitive components from voltage transients that occur during power switching operations, fault conditions, and other power disturbances. TV30C170JB-G diodes can also be used in power connections to protect against ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage.

Working Principle

TV30C170JB-G diodes work by providing a path for the current flowing into a protected circuit when an overvoltage transient occurs. This is done by connecting the anode (positive) side of the diode to the protected circuit, and the cathode (negative) side of the diode to ground. When an overvoltage event occurs, the diode will conduct current and the transient voltage will be diverted to ground, thus providing protection for the circuit.

TV30C170JB-G diodes are designed to absorb a certain amount of current to protect against voltage transients. The amount of current that is able to be absorbed is stated in terms of a voltage clamping rating, and this rating varies depending on the type of diode. Proper selection of the clamping rating is important in order to ensure proper protection from transient voltages.

TV30C170JB-G diodes are also rated in terms of their maximum peak pulse power rating and their maximum operating voltage. The maximum peak pulse power rating indicates how much peak power the diode can absorb before failing, and the maximum operating voltage indicates how much voltage the diode can handle before failing. Proper selection of these ratings is also important to ensure that the diode is able to provide the maximum level of protection for the circuit.

TV30C170JB-G diodes can provide reliable protection against voltage transients and are designed to tolerate a wide range of operating conditions. These diodes are also available in various package sizes, making them an ideal solution for most modern electronic systems.
