15KPA64E3/TR13

The 15KPA64E3/TR13 is a TVS-Diodes component, which is used to protect circuits like electronic equipment from damage due to environmental stresses. It is a bidirectional Zener diode in a low-profile package with an integrated ESD protection circuit.

Application Field

The 15KPA64E3/TR13 is suitable for use in a variety of end-products, including actuators, audio equipment, automotive electronics, battery packs, cell phones, digital cameras, and televisions. This component is designed for environments where voltage transients such as electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electrical fast transient (EFT) disturbances are present.

This component is suitable for applications in the consumer and automotive industries, where it is used to protect against unwanted voltage surges. It is available in surface mount (SMT) and through-hole (THT) packages, which makes it suitable for use in a wide range of end-products and applications.

Working Principle

The 15KPA64E3/TR13 works by conducting current in one direction to protect against transient voltages. A Zener diode is a two-terminal device that provides electrical isolation between two nodes, and it is designed to remain off until a predetermined reverse voltage level (typically between 5-6V) is reached. Once this voltage is reached, it allows current to flow in the reverse direction, thus preventing the flow of transient voltage to the device\'s protected node.

The ESD protection circuit in the 15KPA64E3/TR13 provides extra protection against voltage transients, and it is capable of neutralizing ESD events up to ±16kV contact and up to ±30kV air discharge. The ESD protection circuit detects and clamps high-voltage transients, preventing them from reaching the protected node and protecting it from damage.

Conclusion

The 15KPA64E3/TR13 is an effective TVS-Diodes component that provides protection against voltage transients such as ESD and EFT disturbances. It is available in both SMT and THT packages, and it is suitable for use in a variety of end-products and applications. Its integrated ESD protection circuit provides extra protection against voltage transients, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
