Toshiba Introduces Zener Diodes with Surge Protection for Consumer Electronics
Toshiba Expands Zener Diode Lineup for Enhanced Surge Protection in Electronic Equipment
BonChip Electronics, a leading distributor of Toshiba electronic components, is excited to announce the expansion of Toshiba's Zener diode lineup. This expansion strengthens Toshiba's offering in protecting sensitive electronic devices from damaging voltage spikes and electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Enhanced Surge Protection for a Wide Range of Applications
The new Zener diodes offer robust protection against:
- Switching Surges: These occur during circuit operation due to rapid switching events and can damage delicate electronic components.
- Induced Lightning Surges: Lightning strikes can induce surges in nearby power lines, potentially harming connected equipment. The new Zener diodes provide effective protection against these long-pulse-width (microseconds to milliseconds) overvoltage threats.
Superior Performance Characteristics
Toshiba's Zener diodes maintain the excellent qualities of their existing lineup:
- Low Dynamic Resistance: This minimizes voltage drop across the diode during surge events, ensuring effective protection for connected devices.
- Low Clamping Voltage: This limits the voltage experienced by protected components, further enhancing their safety and reliability.
Improved Design Flexibility
The new Zener diodes are available in a variety of industry-standard packages to accommodate diverse design needs:
- SOT-23: This popular surface-mount package offers a compact and space-saving solution.
- SOT-346 (S-Mini), SOT-323 (USM): These 3-pin packages provide more leads for specific circuit configurations.
- SOD-323 (USC), SOD-523 (ESC): These 2-pin packages offer a minimalist footprint ideal for space-constrained applications.
Expanded Voltage Range and Compatibility
The expanded lineup introduces ten additional Zener voltage options per series, providing a broader spectrum of voltage protection choices:
- Nominal Zener Voltage Range: 5.6 V to 36.0 V (including existing products)
- Compatibility: Aligned with the E24 voltage series for seamless integration into existing designs.
Applications
The new Zener diodes are ideal for a wide range of electronic equipment requiring surge protection, including:
- Consumer Electronics: Home appliances, power supplies, and other consumer devices.
- Industrial Equipment: Industrial automation equipment, power supplies, and more.
