VS-VSKC166/16PBF

VS-VSKC166/16PBF is a diode array for overvoltage protection and overcurrent protection of electronics. It is especially suitable for overvoltage protection of sensitive digital logic circuits.

Application Field

VS-VSKC166/16PBF is mainly used in low power applications, such as mobile phone circuits, LCD TVs, personal computers, and other small electronic systems.

Working Principle

The VS-VSKC166/16PBF diode array is arranged in a modular fashion, and is composed of two main parts. The first part is an integrated overvoltage protection component and the second part is an overcurrent protection component. The integrated overvoltage protection component works in parallel with the overcurrent protection component, and consists of two series-connected shielded Zener diodes, with a maximum breakdown voltage of 15V. In the event of an overvoltage, the Zener diodes will limit the voltage to below 15V and thus provide protection for sensitive digital circuits. The overcurrent protection component is composed of two sealed series-connected low-resistance diodes with an off-state voltage drop of 0.6V. In the event of overcurrent, these diodes will limit the current, thus preventing damage to the circuit.

Conclusion

The VS-VSKC166/16PBF components provide efficient overvoltage and overcurrent protection for a range of low power applications. The integrated overvoltage protection component and the overcurrent protection component combine to provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for protecting sensitive digital electronics.
