TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are key components used in protecting electronic devices from transient overvoltage. The 20KPA36-B TVS is a fast-responding, medium-power rectifier diode that provides bidirectional protection from overvoltage transients. This diode is ideally suited for applications requiring electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection such as automobile control units, optical communication systems, and medical devices.

The 20KPA36-B is a surface mount diode, with leads that can be soldered directly onto a PCB making it ideal for automated assembly. It is available in an SMA leadless package, with room for a heatsink in order to keep the operating temperature lower than the maximum ratings. It is also RoHS compliant.

The maximum power dissipation of the 20KPA36-B is 600W, with an operating temperature range of -55 ˚C to + 125 ˚C. It can operate over a broad input voltage range of 5V to 36V, allowing it to be used in a variety of applications. It has a relatively low on-state resistance (RDS) of only 1.3mΩ, making it capable of handling large current pulses.

The 20KPA36-B TVS diode is designed to protect all kinds of electronic equipment from ESD (electrostatic discharge) and EFT (electrical fast transients) events. It is capable of handling repetitive ESD strikes of up to 2000V and EFT spikes of up to 6000V. It can dissipate up to 600W of power, which makes it suitable for high-power applications.

The working principle of the 20KPA36-B TVS diode is simple. It is designed to clamp voltages above its breakdown voltage, VBR. When an overvoltage transient occurs, the diode will conduct and provide a low-resistance path for the current to flow through, thus limiting the peak voltage seen by the protected device. As the transient dissipates, the diode will automatically turn off, allowing the circuit to return to its original state.

In summary, the 20KPA36-B TVS diode is an effective solution for protecting sensitive electronic devices from overvoltage transients. Its fast response time and low on-state resistance make it suitable for high-power applications, while its small form factor and RoHS compliance make it ideal for automated assembly in a variety of applications.
