Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are a type of protective device that is designed to protect a circuit from voltage surges. The 30KPA36CAE3/TR13 is one such device. It is designed for use in automotive applications, and is a 3-terminal electro-static discharge (ESD) protection device.
The 30KPA36CAE3/TR13 consists of a pair of silicon diodes that are mounted in parallel. The two diodes have anode and cathode terminals, and another terminal called the Vbr terminal. When the voltage between the anode and cathode terminals exceeds the device\'s Breakover Voltage (Vbr), then the device turns on. When this happens, the device will divert the transient current away from the protected circuit to the device.
The 30KPA36CAE3/TR13 can operate as both an ESD Protector and ESD Suppressor. In ESD Protection mode, the device is designed to protect the circuit from transient voltages and surges up to the device\'s Breakover Voltage (Vbr), and will then reset itself once the voltage drops back to the safe level. In ESD Suppression mode, the device will suppress the transient voltage to a safe level, allowing the system to continue to function normally.
The 30KPA36CAE3/TR13 is typically used in automotive applications, where it provides protection from transient voltages and surges that may occur during vehicle operation. It is designed to be used with automotive electronics, such as interior lighting, instrument panels, and other automotive components. The device is also suitable for use in other applications, such as medical electronics, consumer electronics, and industrial equipment.
The 30KPA36CAE3/TR13 is a reliable and robust device that offers reliable protection from voltage surges. It is a cost effective solution that is well suited for use in automotive, medical, consumer, and industrial applications. If you are looking for a device to protect your system from voltage surges and transient voltages, then the 30KPA36CAE3/TR13 is the device for you.
