TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) Diodes, commonly referred to as voltage suppressors, are designed to absorb or divert high voltage, power, or electrical overloads in a circuit. They are most commonly used in electrical systems, such as motor controllers, UPS systems, automotive systems, and industrial applications. 15KPA200CE3/TR13 is one of the more popular TVS Diodes, including two applications.

Application Field 1: Lightening Protection

The 15KPA200CE3/TR13 is mainly designed to protect against power surges due to lightning strikes. With a breakdown voltage rating of 200V, it is capable of absorbing up to 4.3KA (4.3kA surge, 8/20 micro second) or 2X, 3X (according to IEC 61000-4-5). This makes it highly reliable for protecting against lightning strikes. In addition, it can handle up to 10KA peak pulse for up to 100 cycles with an IV rating of 0.1mA or less. Other features of the 15KPA200CE3/TR13 include an operating temperature range of -55°C to +175°C, with humidity range of 0 to 95%. It is also RoHS compliant.

Application Field 2: Automotive

15KPA200CE3/TR13 is one of the more popular automotive TVS Diodes. It is typically used as a protection device during battery switching or electrical overloads. It is capable of operating at +200V, +125V, +100V and +80V, and can absorb up to 5.4KA shock pulses, corrosion resistant and can handle up to 10KA peak pulses of up to 100 cycles. It is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -55 to +125 degrees Celsius and can handle altitudes up to 8,000 meters (26,000 feet). This makes it ideal for use in automotive applications, such as engine computers, charging systems and power systems.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 15KPA200CE3/TR13 is fairly simple. When an over-voltage situation arises (such as a lightning strike), the TVS diode will redirect the electrical overload, diverting it from the rest of the circuit. The diode is connected so that it creates a low-resistance path to redirect the electrical current when an overload situation occurs. This allows the device to protect the rest of the circuit from being damaged due to an over-voltage. In addition, the diode is designed to be self-recovering, meaning that it will start working correctly after the voltage has gone down.

Overall, the 15KPA200CE3/TR13 is an excellent choice for lightning protection and various automotive applications. Its self-recovery, corrosion resistance, and high temperature rating make it suitable for a wide range of applications. With its high surge capabilities, this TVS diode can effectively redirect and absorb electrical overloads, protecting the rest of the circuit.
