The Littelfuse 5.0SMDJ-FB TVS diodes in a compact package deliver advanced protection from transient voltages.

Risk of Damage in Extended Reverse Polarity via Short Circuit Current Protection Method. 1. Series Diode. No. 2. Series Schottky. No. 3. Diode to Ground. Yes. 4. TVS to Ground and PTC. Depends. 5. TVS ...

The series chain of Zener diode D1 (a 1N4737A) and green LED D2 ... Transistor VT2 provides short-circuit protection to the load, with red LED D4 indicting an overload.

The TVS diode was replaced by a simple diode clamp using generic diodes clamping to a generic 12 V zener (e.g. BZT52C12). This provided the necessary first stage of voltage clamping.

The Zener diode is chosen so during a short-circuit – or perhaps even over-current – condition, it will not break down. R3 discharges C1 when there is no source power. In this design, the MOSFETs ...

Eaton used the Detroit auto show last month to showcase Breaktor as a piece of its growing EV business. Eaton launched its eMobility unit in 2018 with an initial investment of $500 million, and it ...
