This application note presents different types of overvoltage protection devices for solid-state relays. The document also provides suggested recommendations on their selection and use with the Vishay ...

The objective of protective relays and protective schemes is to protect electrical equipment such as transformers, lines, cables, bus bars, etc. during abnormal system conditions. Hence, protective ...

Figure 1 A series diode protects systems from reverse polarity but wastes power in diode losses. Figure 2 You can use a bridge rectifier so that your system works no matter what the input polarity is.

VETH100A1DD1 is a bidirectional ESD protection diode for automotive Ethernet, compliant with OPEN Alliance 100Base-T1 and 1000Base-T1. Made by Vishay, it comes in a wettable flank DFN1006-2B package ...
