USB50805C-AE3/TR7 Circuit Protection

The USB50805C-AE3/TR7 is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode, part of the TVS diode family. These specialized diodes provide protection against transient voltage spikes by clamping at a specific voltage, and are especially useful in devices that are sensitive to noise, such as computers, game consoles, and mobile phones.

USB50805C-AE3/TR7, like all TVS diodes, has a clamping voltage that is determined by the breakdown voltage of the diode. This is the voltage at which the diode will turn on to help protect against surges. The breakdown voltage of the USB50805C-AE3/TR7 is 6.0V. This means that the diode will turn on when the voltage exceeds 6.0V and begin to conduct current.

The USB50805C-AE3/TR7 also has a maximum peak pulse current (ITSM). This is the maximum amount of current that can be conducted by the diode without causing damage. The USB50805C-AE3/TR7 can conduct up to 182A peak pulse current.

The actual speed of the diode can range from 250V/µs to 500V/µs, depending on the peak pulse current that is being conducted. Higher peak pulse current will cause the diode to operate faster. The USB50805C-AE3/TR7 also has a relatively low capacitance of only 0.16pF, which helps to reduce noise.

The USB50805C-AE3/TR7 is commonly used in a variety of applications including AC adapters, automotive electronics, and power supplies. It is also commonly used for consumer electronics such as cell phones, tablets, and computers. The diode is designed to protect these devices from voltage spikes, and can also help reduce noise and increase overall signal integrity.

The USB50805C-AE3/TR7 is a robust diode that can withstand voltage spikes up to 6.0V without damage. It can also handle an impressive peak pulse current of up to 182A and has a low capacitance of 0.16pF. This makes it an ideal choice for applications requiring noise reduction, improved signal integrity, and protection against voltage spikes.
