V10E17P

V10E17P Application Field and Working Principle

V10E17P is a type of transient voltage suppressor (TVS) specially designed for surge and overvoltage protection. It is used to protect electronic products or equipment from unexpected surges, spikes, and other voltage transients. A V10E17P also functions as a direct voltage protection tool to maintain a clean and safe environment.

In order to ensure the accurate application of the device, it is necessary to understand the functioning and the specifications of the device. The V10E17P consists of a three-terminal, 2-layer, monolithic resistor-diode network, mounted in a hermetically sealed 0.5 square inch package. The device is capable of clamping to a rated voltage of 16V and is designed to provide surge protection up to 1000 volts and beyond.

When the device is exposed to a high frequency spike or surge, the voltage of the waveform is clamped to a regulated 16V output voltage. The device is constructed with an anode beneath a two-layer conductive oxide (TCO) layer of silicon dioxide and gallium nitride. This provides the ability to withstand up to 1000 volts and greater, and can operate in temperatures ranging from -40˚C to +125 ˚C.

As a transient suppressor, the device will only function when the leakage current of the device is reduced to zero. This is why an external resistor, such as the 100 ohm resistor is required to protect the device from excess current overload. When the device is connected to the power supply, the surge voltage appears on the anode terminal, which causes a current through the resistor, and charging of the two-layer conductive oxide. When the voltage exceeds the rated breakdown voltage of the device, the oxide layer becomes more resistive, which reduces the current flow. This effectively clamps the voltage of the waveform at the rated output voltage, where the current flow stops and the device is reset.

The V10E17P is mainly used in the protection of various electronic components, especially power supplies, for the stabilization of line noise. It is usually installed between the power cord outlet and the power board in order to ensure that the voltage transmitted to the power board remains within a safe range. Additionally, the V10E17P is useful in surge protection devices, for application in power supplies, and in audio/video systems as it is designed to withstand extreme levels of surge voltage.

In conclusion, the V10E17P is a specially designed transient voltage suppressor for the protection of electronic components from overvoltage and voltage transients. The device is constructed with a two-layer conductive oxide layer, and is designed to provide surge protection up to 1000 volts and beyond. With an external resistor of 100 ohms, the device is capable of clamping to a rated voltage of 16V and can operate in temperatures ranging from -40˚C to +125 ˚C. The V10E17P is useful in a variety of different applications, such as surge protection devices, power supplies, and audio/video systems.
