UPT24R/TR7

Introduction to TVS-Diodes

TVS-Diodes, or transient voltage suppressors (abbreviated TVS), are designed to protect sensitive electrical equipment or computer systems from high-voltage or electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. By limiting voltage buildup, they act as a protective barrier against potential damage from electrostatic discharge, lightning, high-voltage switching and other voltage transients. As an active electrical component, TVS-Diodes are able to respond faster than passive components such as MOVs and can be designed to operate at very low voltages for maximum protection.

UPT24R/TR7 Application Field and Working Principle

The UPT24R/TR7 is a voltage suppressor diode that provides high level protection from ESD, lightning, high-frequency noise and power transients. The UPT24R/TR7 is designed to protect sensitive electronic components such as integrated circuits, microprocessors, memory chips, MOS FETs and other semiconductor devices. It can also be used to protect against voltage spikes in alarm systems, motors, and audio equipment.

The UPT24R/TR7 diode works on the principle of reverse-breakdown voltage, which means that when the voltage across the diode is greater than its breakdown voltage at steady-state, its reverse current will increase exponentially. This reverse current can be effectively modulated to dissipate the current energy and protect the device from voltage transients and ultimately protect the device from potential damage due to over-voltage conditions. This design makes the UPT24R/TR7 diode an ideal candidate for ESD protection in electronic and computer systems.

The UPT24R/TR7 diode offers a maximum reverse breakdown voltage of 24 volts and a maximum peak pulse power of 500 Watt, which is enough to protect sensitive electronic components. It can also clamp voltage transients up to 6.67kV per line. The UPT24R/TR7 diode is designed to operate up to -55°C and can withstand up to 10,000g shock or vibration. This makes it an ideal choice for automotive applications and in environments where shock and vibration may be present. Additionally, the UPT24R/TR7 has a very low forward voltage drop and a low power dissipation when conducting steady-state current, making it an extremely efficient and cost-effective voltage-suppression solution.

Overall, the UPT24R/TR7 is a versatile and reliable voltage-suppression device that offers high performance and protection from voltage transients, ESD, lightning, and power-conduction interference. Its low operating temperatures, low forward voltage drop, and high peak pulse power make it an ideal choice for automotive and industrial applications. Additionally, its fast response and low power consumption make it an efficient and cost-effective voltage protection solution.
