Transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes are used to protect sensitive electronic components from overvoltage transients caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), voltage spikes from inductive loads, or other sources. The 15KPA18C is an axial lead transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode capable of suppressing transient voltages up to 18 volts.

The 15KPA18C is a bidirectional unidirectional diode with a surge capability of 250 Watts at 8.3ms. The device is encased in an epoxy-coated glass package which provides adequate insulation and insulation displacement. The device also features a low reverse leakage current of 5uA and fast recovery time (200ns).

The 15KPA18C is mainly used in applications such as automotive systems, medical equipment, computer systems, and communications equipment. It is also used in applications that need to protect sensitive electronic devices and circuits from voltages spikes, overvoltage transients, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and other sources of damage.

When an overvoltage transient occurs, the 15KPA18C will start to conduct when the voltage exceeds its breakdown voltage. This will cause a current to flow through the diode and this current will reduce the peak voltage to a safe level. This ensures that there is no electrical overstress or damage to sensitive electronic components.

The device also has a very fast response time which ensures that no damage occurs to sensitive components while the transient voltage is still present. The device is also designed to protect against burst current transients, which occur in the case of a short circuit.

15KPA18C also has a high peak power capability. This allows it to absorb a large amount of current in a short period of time and still maintain its low reverse leakage current. It also has a low forward voltage drop of 0.5 volts.

15KPA18C is a robust and reliable device which is suitable for a range of applications. It can be used to protect industrial, communication, and computer equipment from overvoltage transients and capacitor discharge breakdowns. The device is capable of providing up to 250W of surge protection and can be used in both unipolar and bidirectional protection applications.

In summary, the 15KPA18C is a bidirectional transient voltage suppression diode that is designed to protect sensitive electronic components from overvoltage transients, electrostatic discharge, voltage spikes from inductive sources, and other sources of damage. The device has a high surge capability of 250 Watts, low forward voltage drop of 0.5 volts, fast response times, and low reverse leakage current. It is suitable for a range of applications including automotive, medical, computer, and communication systems.
