Bourns ESD Protection Diodes and TVS Diodes
Bourns Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diodes and ESD Protection Diodes protect sensitive electronics from voltage surges, lightning strikes, and electrostatic discharge in power supplies and communication systems. These diodes offer surge current ratings from 3kA to 15kA and feature compact discrete and array designs, multiple package options, and unidirectional or bidirectional configurations. The TVS diodes and ESD diodes are RoHS compliant and support lead-free manufacturing and provide reliable protection for computers, portable devices, and telecommunications equipment.
