15KPA280

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors) diodes are one of the most popular voltage protection devices used in various applications. They are designed to protect sensitive equipment and components from damage caused by electrical transients or surges. The 15KPA280 is a 4-terminal surge protection device designed specifically for use in automotive applications. It provides robust over-voltage protection and low clamping voltage compared to other devices in the same family.

The 15KPA280 is an integrated four-terminal circuit designed to protect against transients or surges. It contains two main components: a zener diode and a metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). The zener diode is a voltage-regulated device that clamps the transient voltage and limits its discharge current. The MOSFET is a voltage-controlled device that allows current to pass in the reverse direction.

The working principle of a 15KPA280 TVS diode is quite simple. When a transient surge is detected, the zener diode is activated and starts clamping the transient; this ensures that the device voltage does not exceed maximum ratings. The MOSFET then switches on and diverts the transient current away from the sensitive components or devices. It also prevents the built-up of too much energy which otherwise could cause damage.

The 15KPA280 is a versatile device and can be used for a variety of applications. It is ideal for protecting automotive wiring assemblies from transients. It is also suitable for protecting sensitive consumer electronics equipment such as laptops, PCs, tablets and home theatre systems. It is also widely used in industrial applications to protect circuits and systems from over-voltages.

The 15KPA280 TVS diode is an effective and economical surge protection device. It has high surge capability and very low leakage current so it is perfect for protecting against high-energy transients. It is also very reliable and easy to use. In addition, it has an operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C making it suitable for use in both hot and cold environments.

In summary, the 15KPA280 TVS diode is an efficient and reliable surge protection device designed for automotive and consumer electronic applications. It provides robust protection against transients and surges and is very cost-effective. Its highly effective performance ensures reliability and longevity of the protected circuits and systems.
