Working Principle of VTVS15GSMF-HM3-18

At its most basic level, the principle of operation of a TVS diode is quite simple. TVS diodes protect circuits by providing a shunt path when a voltage that exceeds the diode’s breakdown voltage level is applied. Thus, when a sufficiently high voltage is present, the voltage is diverted away from the circuit components and to the diode itself, preventing damage from occurring.

The working principle of the VTVS15GSMF-HM3-18 is no different from any other TVS diode. Specifically, this diode is designed to react to either static or transient voltages that exceed its breakdown voltage. Once the voltage exceeds the specified breakdown level, the diode will conduct the voltage away from the sensitive components in the circuit. The diode is also designed to provide reliable and consistent results, even when subject to high temperatures, mechanical stress, and electrical exhaustion.

Conclusion

The VTVS15GSMF-HM3-18 is a reliable and robust TVS diode that is designed for use in hostile electrical environments. The diode is specially designed to protect against electrostatic discharge, over-voltage, and surges, and is suitable for a variety of industrial, automotive, aviation, and military applications. When subject to voltages that are above its breakdown voltage level, the diode will shunt the voltage away from the circuit, thus preventing damage to the sensitive components.
