VE1210M251R004

Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) electronic components can be found in virtually any field of electronics. They are used for protection from sudden voltage transients due to overvoltage events, from interference signals that can induce unwanted voltage spikes, and from any other form of electrical transients. Among the types of TVS components are Varistors, Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs), and silicon avalanche diodes.

The VE1210M251R004 is a silicon avalanche breakdown diode (TVS) features fast response time, low leakage current, and protection from transients caused by lightning. It is designed for low capacitance, low thermal resistance and high reliability. It is ideal for use in high performance routers, switches, hubs, modems, and other consumer electronics.

The working principle of the VE1210M251R004 lies in its ability to provide a very low resistance path for transients. This is accomplished by a specialized structure, featuring a silicon P-N junction region surrounded by four layers of avalanche protection. When an overvoltage transient occurs, the silicon avalanche service region forms a low voltage, low impedance path between the P and N regions. Since this path acts as a short to the device, the voltage transients are effectively suppressed.

The VE1210M251R004 is designed to meet the needs of high speed designs, where it provides protection from ESD and other transients up to and above the rated voltages. In addition, its bidirectional capability allows for the protection of both power and ground lines. This makes it ideal for use in PCBs, embedded systems, switch boxes, and other electronic devices.

The VE1210M251R004 offers superior protection in applications requiring high surge capability, low leakage current and low capacitance. It has an ultra-low dynamic resistance and high surge capability, with a peak pulse power rating of 1000 Watts. Additionally, its low capacitance makes it suitable for use in high speed serial data lines.

The VE1210M251R004 is a versatile TVS, suitable for a wide range of consumer electronics and industrial applications, ensuring protection from dangerous transient voltages. Because of its quick response time, low leakage current, and high surge protection capability, it is the ideal choice for any application where the protection of critical system components is desired.
