What is TVS diode?

Transient voltage suppression diode, referred to as TVS diode, is a new type of high-efficiency voltage limiting protection device developed on the voltage regulator process. Transient voltage suppression diode core unit is the chip, for the semiconductor silicon material, the chip has a unipolar and bipolar distinction, unipolar TVS tube has a PN junction, bipolar TVS tube has two PN junctions. Unidirectional TVS tube only one direction of the surge voltage impact protection, bi-directional TVS tube is equivalent to two regulators in reverse series, the opposite polarity of the surge voltage can play a protective role.

So in this article we’ll explore TVS application and find where to buy reliable TVS diodes such as P6KE series ,1.5KE series etc.

Application of TVS Diode

TVS diodes are primarily used for transient voltage protection. They are designed to clamp voltage spikes and surges to a safe level, protecting sensitive electronic components from damage.

Common applications of TVS diodes include:

Protection against lightning-induced surges in telecommunication systems and outdoor equipment.

Safeguarding electronic circuits from electrostatic discharge (ESD) during handling and operation.

Protection of automotive electronics from voltage transients caused by load switching, jump-start events, or other electrical disturbances.

Ensuring the reliability of power supplies by suppressing transient events during power-up, power-down, and fault conditions.
