Transient Voltage Suppression Diodes

[Screamtruth]

I have a few gas detector driver cards that have TSV's. How do they differ from the standard Zener diodes? I have found a few publications on the web from the different providers, but haven't found the answer to this simple question.

By the way, the particular diode on our base PCB's are P6KE30's. I assume they are a 30 volt reverse standoff voltage.


Thanks,

Hi ST,

Welcome to our forum.

I found a good explanation here: http://www.elfa.se/elfa-bin/setpage.pl?http://www.elfa.se/elfa-bin/dyndok.pl?lang=en&dok=2009896.htm

Here is the specific diode: http://www.elfa.se/elfa-bin/setpage.pl?http://www.elfa.se/elfa-bin/dyndok.pl?lang=en&dok=3948.htm
