15KPA170C-B

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors) - Diodes are commonly used in many electronic circuits for their protective functions. The 15KPA170C-B is one such type of TVS diode, and it is designed specifically for protection against transient over-voltage events. This device has been designed to be able to operate effectively at up to 170°C junction temperature, making it an ideal choice for high temperature applications with stringent overvoltage protection requirements.

The 15KPA170C-B TVS diode works on the principle of avalanche breakdown. Once the device is exposed to an over-voltage condition, it begins to conduct current, thereby creating a voltage drop across the diode and limiting the voltage across the protected circuitry. The avalanche breakdown is triggered when the device\'s reverse/transient voltage is exceeded and the device then breaks down, allowing current to flow. This current is diverted away from the circuit, ensuring it is not damaged by the transient.

The 15KPA170C-B is commonly used in applications that require protection from transients such as automotive, telecommunications, consumer electronics, and industrial equipment. The device provides a high level of protection, with superior clamping responses and solid construction for reliable operation. This is essential for protecting sensitive circuits from damage due to voltage spikes or voltage transients.

The 15KPA170C-B also has good surge handling capabilities due to its high breakdown voltage ratings. Coupled with its low reverse leakage current and fast response times, the device offers reliable protection for sensitive electrical equipments. Additionally, the device has a low profile design that makes it suitable for even the most space-constrained applications.

Overall, the 15KPA170C-B is an ideal choice for protection from voltage transients in high temperature applications. The device offers superior clamping protection, fast response times, and reliable surge handling abilities, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. It is a reliable and dependable device that can provide effective protection for sensitive circuits and equipment.
