3KP5.0

3KP5.0 is a widely used transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for surge protection in high-speed data line interfaces. With an operating voltage of 5.0 V and a capacitance of 3kW, the 3KP5.0 offers excellent surge suppression performance while simultaneously providing low capacitance. This makes it the ideal choice for protecting against overvoltage signaling and power transients.

The 3KP5.0 TVS diode is designed to protect electronic circuitry from damage due to voltage transients, such as those caused by lightning strikes or power supply problems. It operates by clamping the voltage entering the protected circuit to a predetermined value, thus providing a current limited output and preventing further damage. TVS Diodes are typically used to protect input/output (I/O) circuits, communications circuits, and memory/storage systems.

The 3KP5.0 has several distinct advantages over other types of surge protection devices such as MOVs. Its low capacitance ensures that the signal integrity of the protected circuit is not compromised, and it can dissipate high levels of power in the event of a surge. The diode also has low parasitic capacitance, which reduces the effects of inductive loads on the data signal, resulting in improved signal integrity. It is also extremely fast in response time, providing superior protection for high speed communication lines.

The working principle of the 3KP5.0 TVS diode is based on the unidirectional conduction of electrons. When a voltage transient exceeds the device’s input rating, the diode begins to conduct in one direction, thus diverting the transient away from the protected device. The diode is designed with an “avalanche breakdown” mechanism, which allows it to clamp the voltage at a predetermined level, and minimize any further damage to the protected device.

The 3KP5.0 TVS diode is a highly reliable device, with an operating temperature range of -55oC to +125oC. It also features low capacitance, which makes it ideal for use in high-speed data line interfaces. The diode can handle high levels of power transients, and is fast in responding to transients, making it an ideal choice for surge protection applications. The 3KP5.0 TVS diode is an excellent choice for protecting valuable circuit circuitry from the damaging effects of voltage transients.
