Unidirectional TVS diodes for various applications
Manufacturer: ['vishay-general-semiconductor', 'vishay']
The 1.5SMC20AHE Series is a robust line of transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes designed to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes and transients. With a peak pulse power rating of 1500 watts, this series is engineered to ensure reliability and longevity in a variety of demanding applications. The 1.5SMC20AHE diodes offer a breakdown voltage of 20 volts, making them ideal for clamping overvoltage conditions while allowing normal operating voltages to pass without interference.
One of the standout features of the 1.5SMC20AHE Series is its exceptional clamping capability, which effectively absorbs high-energy transients, safeguarding downstream components from damage. Its low leakage current ensures minimal impact on circuit performance, while the fast response time of the diodes allows for immediate protection against sudden voltage spikes, which is crucial in high-speed data communication environments. The series is constructed in a compact DO-214AA package, facilitating easy integration into circuit designs while optimizing board space without compromising performance.
The design characteristics of the 1.5SMC20AHE Series include a glass passivated junction, which enhances reliability and reduces the risk of failure in harsh operating conditions. These diodes are also compliant with RoHS standards, making them suitable for environmentally conscious applications. Their versatility enables use across a wide range of electronics, including consumer devices, telecommunications equipment, automotive systems, and industrial machinery.
Typical applications for the 1.5SMC20AHE Series include protecting microcontrollers, integrated circuits, and other sensitive components from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electrical overstress (EOS). They are particularly valuable in environments where voltage transients are frequent, such as in power supply circuits, data lines, and communication ports. By incorporating the 1.5SMC20AHE Series into designs, engineers can ensure enhanced circuit integrity and operational reliability, making it a preferred choice for manufacturers looking to elevate the resilience of their electronic products.
