1V5KE170CA Circuit Protection

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) Diodes are electrical components designed to protect other components, electronic systems, and wiring from overvoltage transients due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) or inductive switching. The 1V5KE170CA is an example of such a device. This component is specially designed to provide the necessary overvoltage protection against Electrostatic Discharge and other voltage spikes, and comes in a compact and robust package.

This TVS diode is rated for unidirectional (uni-directional) operation, meaning that it provides transient voltage suppression only in one direction. The 1V5KE170CA is designed to operate up to 170 volts, and is capable of withstanding high peak pulse current of 4A. It is an uni-directional device with a peak pulse power dissipation of 700W.

The 1V5KE170CA is a compact surface mount device (SMD) package with a 0402 footprint, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and consumer applications. It is a low-cost solution that is ideal for battery-powered equipment, automotive electronics, and heavy-duty power supplies.

The working principle of the 1V5KE170CA TVS diode is simple. When encountered with a voltage spike, the diode will conduct current, clamping the instantaneous pulse voltage to a safe limit which will not damage sensitive components. This mechanism of protecting against voltage spikes is essential for reliable operation of electronic systems. It should be noted that the 1V5KE170CA is not a fuse and will not trip under normal operating conditions.

The 1V5KE170CA TVS diode can be used in a wide variety of applications, including automotive electronics, consumer electronic devices, industrial control equipment, and power supplies. It is designed specifically for ESD protection and is ideal for any application which requires reliable protection from high voltage transients. In addition, it is cost-effective and designed to provide excellent ESD protection in a wide variety of settings.

The 1V5KE170CA is a great choice for ESD protection and is a cost-effective way to ensure that sensitive components are not exposed to damaging overvoltage transients. Its low cost, convenient size, and uni-directional operation make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. As the volume and complexity of modern electronic systems continues to increase, the need for robust protection from voltage spikes is more important than ever, making the 1V5KE170CA an excellent choice for reliable protection from overvoltage transients.
