30KPA75CA-HRA

Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are devices used to protect electrical circuits from very short, high-voltage, electrical transients. TVS diodes are a type of TVS specifically designed to protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD).

The 30KPA75CA-HRA is a TVS-diode device designed to protect against overvoltage and overcurrent transients. It is a surface mount device that can be mounted on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) with its built-in flange. The device has a RoHS compliant Pb/Halogen-Free construction, making it a green option for protection. It has a Peak Pulse Power rating of 15000 Watts and a breakdown voltage of 75V.

The application field of the 30KPA75CA-HRA is mainly aimed at automotive battery protection and protecting Automotive Electronic Control Units (ECUs). It is designed to protect automotive circuits from spikes in current and voltage transients, with a maximum hold up voltage of 20V.

The working principle of the 30KPA75CA-HRA is the same as for all TVS diodes. Its purpose is to provide a physical short circuit between the power supply and the protected line in the event of an overvoltage/overcurrent transient. When the device is operating in a normal state, without voltage or current transients occurring, the TVS diode is in a non-conducting state. This allows for an unregulated current and voltage flow to take place.

When a voltage/current transient is detected, the 30KPA75CA-HRA will switch into a conducting state. This will activate the diode’s ESD protection. The device will clamp the input voltage to a safe level, thus allowing for a regulated current/voltage flow. This prevents damage to the circuit board and surrounding components.

The 30KPA75CA-HRA is well suited for applications such as automotive battery protection, Automotive ECUs, Portable Machines, Power Supplies, and Inverters. It provides an economical solution for spike suppression in these applications.

In summary, 30KPA75CA-HRA is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode that is designed to protect automotive circuits from overvoltage and overcurrent transients. It works by providing a physical short circuit between the input and output lines when the voltage/current transient is detected. This allows for a regulated current/voltage flow, which in turn prevents damage to the circuit and its surrounding components. This makes the 30KPA75CA-HRA an ideal solution for providing protection against ESD events.
