Detailed Pin Configuration

The M1.5KE10A TVS diode has a standard axial leaded package with two leads. The anode is connected to the positive side of the circuit, while the cathode is connected to the ground or negative side.

Functional Features

• Transient Voltage Suppression: Quickly diverts excessive voltage away from sensitive components.
• Fast Response Time: Reacts to voltage transients within nanoseconds.
• High Surge Capability: Can withstand large surges without degradation.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages

• Effective protection against voltage spikes
• Fast response time
• RoHS compliant

Disadvantages

• Limited to specific breakdown voltage range
• Requires careful selection based on application requirements

Working Principles

When a voltage transient occurs, the TVS diode conducts current to divert the excess energy away from the protected circuit. This action prevents damage to sensitive components by limiting the voltage across them.
