Transient voltage suppressor (TVS)-diodes are an important part of many electrical systems and are used to protect against electrical surges. Among them, the 15KPA36-B is a basic but powerful TVS-diode, which is widely used in the electronics industry. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the 15KPA36-B.

The main application of the 15KPA36-B lies in the protection of power lines. This type of diode offers excellent protection against short-term overvoltage and overcurrent events, and can be easily mounted on the printed circuit board (PCB). Unlike other TVS-diodes, the 15KPA36-B can handle high current and voltage, up to 40A and 40kV respectively. Therefore, it is highly suitable for protecting electrical and electronic devices from short-term overvoltage and overcurrent.

In addition, the 15KPA36-B is protected against damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is also able to protect against low-level pulse transients with its low dynamic impedance of 0.7 Ohms. Moreover, the 15KPA36-B has a low leakage current even at maximum bias voltage and high temperatures.

The 15KPA36-B has simple and effective working principle. It combines a zener diode and a reverse biased avalanche protection diode. The zener diode is able to regulate the voltage by switching on and off when the voltage reaches a certain level. The low dynamic impedance of the device allows it to effectively protect against transient pulses. The reverse biased diode offers current limiting protection and effectively reduces the voltage at which the zener diode stops conducting. This offers additional overvoltage protection by increasing the final clamping voltage of the device.

Overall, the 15KPA36-B provides excellent protection against overvoltage and overcurrent events, and can be utilized in a wide range of applications. It is able to withstand high current and voltage levels, is protected against ESD, and has a low dynamic impedance.Thanks to its simple but effective working principle, the 15KPA36-B is an ideal choice for providing long-term protection for power lines and other electrical and electronic systems.
