What is a high-power TVS diode?

Diodes can be divided into high-power and low-power, and the power varies depending on the packaging. What is a high-power TVS diode?

Diodes are a new type of high-efficiency circuit protection device, widely used in various fields such as automotive electronics, consumer electronics, electronic instruments, power supplies, computer systems, etc., with advantages such as fast response time, large transient power, low leakage current, small breakdown voltage deviation, easy control of clamping voltage, and small volume.

According to polarity, Transient-voltage-suppression diode can be divided into unipolar TVS transistor and bipolar TVS transistor; According to their usage, they can be divided into general-purpose TVS pipes and specialized TVS pipes; According to packaging and internal structure, it can be divided into axial lead TVS tubes, dual inline TVS tubes, patch type TVS tubes, high-power TVS tubes, low-power TVS tubes, etc. At present, it is widely defined in the industry that TVS diode with a power output of over 3000W belong to high-power TVS diode.
