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.
Designed specifically for the protection of
sensitive electronics used in automotive,
heavy industrial environments, and
against voltage transients induced by
lightning in other applications. Ideal for
the protection of I/O interfaces, VCC bus,
and other integrated circuits.
