VLIN26A1-03GHE3-08 Circuit Protection

TVS - Diodes

TVS diode (Transient Voltage Suppressor) is a voltage-clamping device, which limits voltage and current surge. It is also known as “crowbar” protection and is often used to protect electronics equipments and other devices against over-voltage due to lightning, electrostatic discharges and other transient surges. TVS-diodes are typically used in combination with isolation networks, capacitors, and inductors to protect devices from transient voltages.

VLIN26A1-03GHE3-08 application field and working principle

VLIN26A1-03GHE3-08 is a low-profile and low-voltage TVS diode. It is designed to protect critical circuits from high-frequency transient voltages. It is capable of handling up to 600 Watts of peak pulse power and offers a low capacitance of 1.8 pF. The device is RoHS compliant and available in a TO-220 package for easy integration into a wide variety of applications.

The VLIN26A1-03GHE3-08 comprises of two electrically isolated terminals - anode and cathode. When a voltage across the device is above a certain threshold, the device will start to conduct current and limit the surge voltage between anode and cathode to a predetermined level, thus suppressing the surge.

In the event of a voltage surge, the device will act as a short circuit and redirect the surge current to ground, effectively clamping the voltage. The VLIN26A1-03GHE3-08 is ideal for protecting sensitive circuits from high-frequency transient surges in a variety of settings, including automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications. In particular, it is commonly used in applications that require the protection of multiple circuits including ASICs, microcontrollers, FPGAs, processors, and other devices.

The VLIN26A1-03GHE3-08 provides an effective protection from high-frequency transient surges due to its low capacitance of 1.8 pF. This helps to reduce the voltage across the device and improves the clamping performance. The device is capable of handling up to 600 Watts of peak pulse power, which makes it suitable for protecting equipment against lightning strikes and other over-voltage events. In addition, the device is RoHS compliant and available in a TO-220 package for easy integration into a wide variety of applications.

The VLIN26A1-03GHE3-08 is an excellent choice for protecting sensitive circuits from over-voltage conditions, making it an ideal solution for a wide variety of automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications. Its low capacitance and high Clamping voltage make it an ideal choice for the most demanding applications.
