Introduction to 30KPA160A-B TVS - Diodes

TVS - Diodes, or Transient Voltage Suppression Diodes, are used to protect circuits from unexpectedly high voltage transients and spikes. The 30KPA160A-B is a low capacitance transient voltage suppressor diode, with a breakdown voltage of 40V and a low clamping voltage of 16.5V. The device is available in surface-mount (SMD/SMT) package and is reasonably priced, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of electronic applications.

Application Field

The 30KPA160A-B is designed for use in automotive, computer, communications, and consumer electronics applications, where transient voltage protection is essential. It is suitable for applications where reliable operation at voltages up to 40V is required. Its low impedance and low capacitance are ideal for low-voltage ESD and surge protection. The device is also a good choice for audio and video lines, providing transient suppression in electronics with DC signals.

Working Principle

The 30KPA160A-B diode has an external reverse voltage rating of 40V, which is defined as the maximum reverse voltage the device can withstand without permanent damage. When a voltage spike, composed of either AC or DC voltage transients, occurs, the diode conducts current away from the protected circuit. This current is then limited by the intrinsic reverse-dissipation rating of the diode, ensuring that the voltage spike is clamped to a safe level. This process is called fast switching, as the diode acts as a fast-acting regulator for the transient voltage.The device features a forward voltage drop of 0.5V, which ensures efficient conduction of current. This helps reduce the power dissipated by the diode, resulting in maximized protection. The device is also designed to withstand extended periods of high temperatures, making it suitable for high-temperature application environments.

Advantages

The 30KPA160A-B TVS - Diode provides several benefits for circuit design and protection:

• It offers an economical solution for transient voltage protection
• Its low capacitance and low impedance design ensure maximum performance and protection
• Its low voltage rating helps to ensure safety by clamping transients before they damage circuits or components
• It is suitable for high-temperature environments
• It has a simple and straightforward operation, making it easy to use

Conclusion

The 30KPA160A-B TVS - Diode is an excellent choice for circuit protection against transient voltage spikes and transients. Its low voltage rating, low capacitance, and low impedance make it ideal for low-voltage ESD and surge protection. The device is suitable for applications ranging from automotive to consumer electronics, providing efficient and reliable protection for a variety of applications.
