TVS - Diodes are an important part of circuit protection solutions designed to protect sensitive electronics from the growing range of over-voltage threats caused by lightning, power cross, induction and ESD (electrostatic discharge). The 3KP16CA-B is a diode specifically designed for a wide range of transient voltage application fields and has a working principle based on the avalanche breakdown of the PN junction.

The 3KP16CA-B has a peak pulse current of 16A per line and is available in a small, surface mount for protection of sensitive equipment in various applications such as automotive, industrial, medical, telecommunications, and computer peripherals. This diode also has an operating temperature range between -55°C to +150°C and a low leakage current of 0.05mA @ 0VDC & 5mA @ 20VDC.

The working principle of the 3KP16CA-B diode is based on the avalanche breakdown of the PN junction. When the reverse voltage across the P-N junction reaches a certain level, the electric field strength at the junction is large enough to cause some electrons and holes to break away from their valence bands and accelerate from the surface of the PN junction. This acceleration creates additional electrons and holes, resulting in avalanche multiplication. When the avalanche multiplication occurs, a wave of electrons and holes will be generated at the junction and this wave forms the avalanche current. As the reverse voltage increases, the avalanche current will be increased rapidly. When the reverse voltage is removed, the avalanche current drops rapidly to a very low value.

The 3KP16CA-B diode is used in numerous applications where over-voltage protection is required. This diode can be used in automotive systems, industrial systems, telecommunications systems, and consumer electronic systems. It is also used in the protection of sensitive equipment such as medical instruments and computer peripherals. This diode can provide either series or parallel protection and offers low capacitance and short response times to provide durable, reliable performance.
