Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes provide protection from abnormal or excessive voltage spikes. The 15KPA18C-B device is a low-capacitance, symmetrical, bidirectional, unidirectional (non-clamping) TVS designed to protect high-speed data interfaces such as HDMI, USB, DVI, and Displayport, among others. Oftentimes, short-term, high-current events, referred to as transients, are the cause of signal integrity issues. As such, the 15KPA18C-B is highly reliable and robust enough to handle these transients by suppressing any increase in the voltage beyond its breakdown voltage threshold.

The 15KPA18C-B TVS has an operating voltage range of 5~20V, with an ultra-low capacitance of only 0.3pF. This makes it ideal for protecting high-speed data lines and ensuring minimal signal degradation and maximum signal integrity. It is also rated to handle up to 5A of continuous current, meaning it is well-suited for use in a wide variety of consumer and computer equipment, including high-speed digital systems, VoIP, cable modems, set-top boxes, and automotive electronics.

When the voltage across the TVS reaches its breakdown voltage (VBR), the 15KPA18C-B starts to conduct, diverting the excessive current away from the connected components. This results in a reduction of the voltage to a safe level, thus protecting the system. The maximum breakdown voltage value is determined by the junction temperature and reverse applied voltage, and is specified to a minimum of 15KV, with a typical value of 18KV.

In addition to its remarkable electrical and thermal performance, the 15KPA18C-B comes in a compact and reliable surface-mount package. This package includes a slide-lock feature, allowing for a secure connection which also offers protection against improper installation. The package is also RoHS compliant, which ensures it does not use any hazardous materials, such as lead.

Overall, the 15KPA18C-B is an ideal transient voltage and current protection solution for application places such as digital video systems, VoIP, and consumer electronics. With its low capacitance, high rated current handling, and ultra-low breakdown voltage, this device is well-suited for a variety of applications where a fast-responding, reliable, and robust protection device is needed.
