VESD03-02V-GS08 Circuit Protection

TVS - Diodes: VESD03-02V-GS08 Application Field and Working Principle

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are also known as transil diodes, surge suppressors, transient voltage surge suppressors, and protection diodes that help protect a wide range of electronic systems against voltage-based surges. They are designed to protect electronic devices from a momentary high voltage that can be caused by electrostatic discharges, lightning, or shorted-out power lines. TVS diodes come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be customized to provide protection from various levels of voltage.

The VESD03-02V-GS08 TVS diode is a unidirectional device designed to protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and surge events. This device\'s packaging is a 3x2 mm RoHS Silicon SMD (surface mount device) that has an operating temperature range from -55°C to 150°C. Its forward flow voltage is 5.5V, and its standoff voltage is 2.75V. The VESD03-02V-GS08 also has a peak pulse power (Ipp) rating of 8 Watts.

The VESD03-02V-GS08 is suitable for a variety of applications including AC/DC power supplies, DC/DC converters, industrial control equipment, automotive electronic systems, and portable communication devices. Additionally, it is suitable for use in high density applications due to its low capacitance, low clamping voltage, and low on-state resistance.

The working principle of a TVS diode is that when a voltage spike occurs, the diode is turned “ON”, allowing current to flow from the power source to the device. This limits the voltage that can reach the device to a non-damaging level.TVS diodes are highly effective protection devices that are easy to use, reliable, low cost, and have a long service life. They help protect sensitive components in a wide variety of devices against damage from voltage surges or electrostatic discharges, allowing them to function normally and maintain their integrity.
