TVS - Diodes (Transient Voltage Suppressor Diodes) are highly efficient overvoltage protectors, designed to protect electronic components from damage due to transient voltage spikes. VCAN26A2-03SHE3-18 is a TVS diode which has many applications in consumer electronics, automotive, and communication industry. This article will provide an overview of its application field and its working principle.

Application Field of VCAN26A2-03SHE3-18

VCAN26A2-03SHE3-18 is designed to protect from overvoltage transients, ESD, and EFT, commonly found in consumer electronics, automotive, and communication industry. It is widely used in products like LCD TV, smart phones, telecommunication equipment, computers, automotive, etc. This device has a simple structure, making it highly reliable and easy to install. It is capable of providing superior protection against transients and helps to avoid hardware damage.

The VCAN26A2-03SHE3-18 provides a high peak current with fast response time and can provide protection for a wide range of voltage levels from 6V to 16V. It offers superior protection from transients and EMI/RFI interference, and is also capable of automatically resetting itself if the voltage is low enough. Additionally, its low capacitance and low leakage current make it ideal for applications which require EMI/RFI protection.

Working Principle of VCAN26A2-03SHE3-18

The VCAN26A2-03SHE3-18 is a lightning-fast semiconductor device designed to protect sensitive electronic components from the damaging effects of electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT) and overvoltage conditions. This device’s main function is to protect circuits from these transients and other short-term voltage peaks, by providing a shunt path for the current. During normal operation, the device acts as an open circuit, passing no current. When a voltage transient or surge occurs, the device will respond in a fraction of a second, providing an instantaneous low resistance path for the current to flow.

When the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the p–n junction formed within the device, current will instantaneously start to flow, limiting and controlling the voltage. The maximum current capability of the device is determined by the physical size and construction technique of the device, and can range from single-digit Amperes to high-current ratings (30A).

Once the transient event has passed, the device will reset itself, and return to its off-state, open circuit. This is known as “clamping” a voltage during overvoltage conditions. As such, the device acts as a voltage regulator, limiting the voltage peak to a safe level. The VCAN26A2-03SHE3-18 is highly useful for controlling the voltage across signal lines, in motors, solenoids and other types of inductive loads, and is especially effective in protecting computers from an overvoltage electrical line problems.

The VCAN26A2-03SHE3-18 is designed with a low capacitance rating, making it ideal for use with applications which require EMI/RFI shielding. It has a very low leakage current, making it highly reliable, and its low capacitance helps to avoid interference from other electronic devices. Additionally, the device is highly temperature stable, and provides superior protection in elevated temperatures.

The VCAN26A2-03SHE3-18 device is a very effective solution for providing overvoltage protection to consumer electronics, automotive, and communication industry products. It provides lightning fast protection from transients and EMI/RFI, and ensures that sensitive components of electronic systems are not damaged from transient voltages spikes and other short-term voltage peaks.
