15KPA36A-HR

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are typically used to protect components from electrical overstress (EOS). They can be used to provide protection against voltage transients, which can be caused by static electricity, lightning, or other sudden surges in power. The 15KPA36A-HR is a type of TVS diode designed for use with automotive and heavy-duty applications. This device is used to limit voltages and protect sensitive circuits from damage due to electrical overloads.

Application Field:

The 15KPA36A-HR is specifically designed for heavy-duty applications such as automotive and industrial equipment. It is a high-reliability device that helps ensure the safe operation of these equipment. The device is also used in power supplies to protect against harmful voltage overshoots, or in circuits to guard against electrostatic discharge (ESD) or lightning induced transients.

Working Principle:

The 15KPA36A-HR acts as a voltage clamp, which protects circuit components from overvoltage conditions. It utilizes silicon oxide barrier diodes (SOBDs) that quickly reduce the voltage of any instantaneous electrical surges or transients to within the safe operating range. When a voltage transient occurs, the SOBDs respond to the increase in voltage by channeling the excess energy away from the circuit and back into the device. The device quickly responds to the voltage changes, and the protection is provided without compromising system performance or reliability.

The 15KPA36A-HR is a compact, hermetically sealed device with robust performance and reliability. It can safely dissipate energy up to 200W and is resistant to reverse+bias, junction temperature, and load current. It is also very reliable and has passed tests of automotive and heavy-duty applications.

In conclusion, the 15KPA36A-HR is a type of TVS diode designed for heavy-duty automotive and industrial applications. It acts as a voltage-clamp, utilizing silicon oxide barrier diodes that quickly reduce voltage to within a safe operating range. The device is very reliable and is resistant to reverse-bias, junction temperature, and load current. It is a robust, hermetically sealed device that can safely dissipate up to 200W of energy.
