TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors) diodes are special components designed to protect circuitry from high voltage transients. The 3KP20A-B is a bidirectional, non-polarized model of these components. It has a working voltage of 20V and is capable of dissipating up to 10A of ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) current.

These diodes are commonly used in automotive, avionic, consumer electronics, industrial and telecom applications. When current or voltage transient exceeds a surge rating set by the manufacturers, these components are designed to absorb, redirect and dissipate the surge energy.

The 3KP20A-B offers a low clamp-force that can dissipate surges ranging from 10A to 5KA. It is highly reliable, offers excellent surge and clamp performance, and is temperature-stable in both anode and cathode. It is also RoHS compliant and requires no external components for protection.

The 3KP20A-B works by allowing a tight current flowing through itself when a surge occurs, breaking open a breakover current and releasing the excess energy into the diode’s anode and cathode. This process is known as an avalanche breakdown, and the excess energy is dissipated as heat.

The 3KP20A-B offers robust protection against voltage transients caused by lightning strikes, load-dump, and nearby ESD events. It is highly reliable and can be used in a wide range of industrial, telecommunications, and automotive applications. In addition, its high surge current capacity makes it an ideal choice for use in higher voltages environments.

Overall, the 3KP20A-B is an excellent choice for surge protection. Its high temperature stability, high breakdown voltage, and low clamp-force makes it a reliable and rugged choice for protecting sensitive electronic components.
