The ideal location for diodes to act as Transient Voltage Suppression devices for modern avionics boards and boxes is inside the interface connectors.When considering the higher density multi-pin connectors commonly used, finding the room to package these diodes is a challenge. Previous generations of 'cord wood' stacked leaded diode connectors double the size of a non TVS equivalent. Depending on the screening level specified for the diodes, lead times and costs for the diodes can be excessive. The solution to these issues is packaging the diodes with the PCBs and treating the PCB assembly like a planar capacitor. By using this concept of embedding the diodes with the PCBs the designer can make use of tighter packaging and off the shelf die to create a connector that matches the size of EMI filter connectors.
