The SA265 avalanche diode, manufactured by DIOTEC and available from Supreme Components International, an authorised distributor, is designed to provide robust protection against voltage transients. This diode features a reverse voltage of 600V and a forward current of 2A, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Housed in a DO-15 package, the SA265 offers excellent surge handling capabilities and reliable performance. Avalanche diodes are specifically designed to operate in the reverse breakdown region, providing a controlled and predictable response to overvoltage conditions. This makes them ideal for protecting sensitive electronic circuits from damage caused by voltage spikes, ESD, and other transient events. The SA265 is a dependable choice for ensuring the longevity and reliability of your electronic designs.
