Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) Diodes
Invisible Protection
When no problems exist, Crydom TVS
Diodes are totally invisible to the circuits
they're protecting. But when potentially
damaging transients occur, they provide
high-speed "clamping" to prevent damage
– and then return to their electronically
invisible state.
APPLICATIONS FOR SURFACE MOUNT
TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SUPPRESSORS
Protect sensitive electronics against voltage
transients induced by electrostatic discharge
(ESD), inductive load switching, and lightning.
Ideal for the protection of I/O interfaces, VCC
bus, and other integrated circuits.
