SA series TVS diodes use the classic DO-15 glass passivated chip junction package and are a solution designed to provide high-energy transient overvoltage protection for sensitive electronic devices. Known for its excellent clamping capability and ultra-fast response time (typically less than 1.0 picoseconds), this series can effectively suppress voltage transients caused by inductive load switching, lightning strikes or other transient events, protecting ICs, MOSFETs and signal lines from damage.
The typical failure mode of SA series TVS diodes is a short circuit when subjected to voltage or current exceeding the specification, ensuring circuit safety. It is widely used in key circuit protection such as I/O interfaces, sensor unit signal lines in consumer electronics, computers, industrial control, automotive electronics and telecommunications. It also supports high-temperature welding of 260°C/10 seconds, making it an ideal choice for providing reliable and durable protection.
