Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes, also known as surge absorbers, protect sensitive electronic components from voltage transients caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), inductive switching, and other events. The 20KPA32C is a unidirectional TVS diode specifically designed for overvoltage and transient protection. The product is designed for use in heavy-duty, industrial, and automotive applications.

The 20KPA32C is rated to dissipate as much as 32A in a 5/6/7/8-pin package. Its operating temperature range is -55ºC to +150ºC (temperature coefficient of 0.01%). The 20KPA32C has a reverse stand-off voltage of 20V and a peak pulse power rating of 500W (10/1000µs waveform) which makes it ideal for overvoltage protection of low capacitive loads. This device has an excellent response time of 0.5µs for transients up to 0.3V/µs.

The 20KPA32C offers a low-capacitance-to-voltage ratio as well as a wide array of clamping voltage options. Its ceramic and low profile package options provide a minimum clamping capability of 13V for -40V to +60V. The product is suitable for applications in automotive electronic modules, workers safety systems, and other mission critical applications where shutdown or false triggering of the devices would be detrimental.

The 20KPA32C uses a fast-recovery diode. This diode is connected in series with a protective resistor that reduces the amount of current flowing through the diode. The resistor also reduces the peak voltage of the transient voltage to prevent it from damaging sensitive electronic components. When a transient voltage occurs, the diode begins to conduct, allowing current to flow through the diode and resistor. The current is dissipated by the resistor and the voltage is clamped below the breakdown voltage of the diode. This prevents the transient voltage from damaging any components connected to the circuit.

In summary, the 20KPA32C is an ideal selection for overvoltage protection. It features a wide operating temperature range, low-capacitance-to-voltage ratio, a wide array of clamping voltage options, and a fast-recovery diode. Its rating of 32A and peak pulse power rating of 500W (10/1000µs waveform) make it ideal for a wide range of applications in the automotive, heavy-duty, and industrial sectors. With its excellent voltage protection and fast response time, the 20KPA32C offers superior protection for sensitive components.
