The IXYS IXBOD1-15RD is a compact and robust bidirectional breakdown diode (BOD). Unlike standard diodes that only allow current flow in one direction, BODs can conduct current in both directions when a specific voltage threshold is exceeded. This makes them ideal for safeguarding circuits from transient voltage threats.
Special Features and Benefits of Using the IXYS IXBOD1-15RD, Bidirectional Breakdown Diode
- High reverse voltage blocking capability (up to 1500V)
- Forward current rating of 900mA
- Surface mount (SMD) package for ease of assembly on PCBs
- Protects circuits from voltage spikes and transients due to its high voltage blocking capability.
- Suitable for high-power applications due to its 900mA current rating.
- Space-saving design because of the SMD package.
Where Can I Use the IXYS IXBOD1-15RD Bidirectional Breakdown Diode?
- Voltage regulator circuits: By clamping excess voltage.
