Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes, such as the 15KPA20C-B, are designed to protect electronic devices from transients – fast, high-voltage spikes of electricity that can damage sensitive components. The 15KPA20C-B is a bi-directional TVS diode, meaning it can absorb transients from either the anode-to-cathode or the cathode-to-anode direction. This makes it suitable for a wide variety of different applications where transient voltage protection is needed.

Application Field

The versatile nature of the 15KPA20C-B means that it can be used in a wide variety of applications. It has been designed to be used on DC/DC converters, HDMI connectors, PC ports, USB connectors, and other computer peripherals. It can also be used in many automotive applications, such as ECUs, fuel injection systems, headlights, and ABS systems. Additionally, it can be used in high voltage industrial applications, such as controlling switchgear, UPS systems, and lightning arresters.

Working Principle

The 15KPA20C-B remains in the non-conducting state until a transient voltage is detected. At this point, the diode will switch to the conducting state, thus diverting the transient voltage away from critical system components. The 15KPA20C-B also features a temperature-independent avalanche breakdown voltage, and the device is designed to have a low on-state voltage drop and minimal capacitance to reduce signal distortion.

The 15KPA20C-B is also designed to be able to protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD), as it can absorb the extremely fast pulse of electricity. The device has a very low clamping voltage, and it is designed to be able to absorb transients up to 20A without sustaining damage. Additionally, the 15KPA20C-B also features an ultralow thermal resistance, meaning that it can dissipate the energy generated by a transient spike quickly and efficiently.

In summary, the 15KPA20C-B is a versatile, bi-directional TVS diode that is designed to protect electronic components from transient voltage spikes. It can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as DC/DC converters, HDMI connectors, USB connectors, automotive systems, and high voltage industrial applications. Additionally, the 15KPA20C-B is designed to be able to absorb transients up to 20A without sustaining damage, and it features an ultralow thermal resistance for maximum efficiency.
