Types of Overvoltage Suppressor

Suppressor diodes (also known as TVS diodes) provide fast protection against transient voltage spikes by clamping high voltages to safe levels within nanoseconds. They feature low clamping voltage, high surge capability, and quick response, offering reliable protection for automotive electronics, power supplies, communication equipment, and industrial control systems.

Transient Voltage Suppressor Diode

An Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Suppressor is a protective device used to prevent damage caused by sudden electrostatic discharges in electronic circuits. It provides fast clamping action and low capacitance, ensuring stable signal transmission and reliable ESD protection. These components are commonly used in communication interfaces, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, and industrial control systems.

Electrostatic Discharge Suppressor

Polymer ESD Suppressors provide fast and reliable protection against electrostatic discharge by clamping high voltages to safe levels within nanoseconds. Featuring low capacitance, quick response, and high durability, they ensure stable signal performance and long-term reliability. These components are widely used in communication interfaces, high-speed data lines, and consumer electronic devices to safeguard sensitive circuits from ESD damage.

Overvoltage Suppressor – FAQs

What Is The Difference Between TVS Diodes And GDTS?

TVS diodes react within picoseconds, ideal for protecting ICs and data lines.

GDTs handle higher surge currents but respond slower, making them better for power and telecom line protection.

In many designs, they are used together to provide multi-stage protection.

Selection depends on several key factors:

Working voltage of your circuit

Application environment (industrial, telecom, automotive, etc.)

Clamping voltage and response time requirements

Surge energy or current rating expected in the system

PROSEMI offers several types:

TVS Diode – Fast response for low-energy transients and signal lines.

Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) – Handles high surge current in communication and power systems.

Thyristor Surge Suppressor (TSS) – Provides precise triggering and low leakage.

PLED / ESD Suppressor / Polymer Suppressor – Used for low-voltage and high-speed data interfaces.

An overvoltage suppressor is an electronic protection component designed to limit transient voltage spikes caused by lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD), or switching surges. It protects sensitive circuits by clamping excessive voltage to a safe level.
