3KP60CA

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are a specialized type of diode designed to protect sensitive components and circuits from overvoltage conditions resulting from lightning or other extreme events. They can also protect against too high or too low voltage, overcurrent, electromagnetic interference, and other transients or distortions. The 3KP60CA is a bidirectional TVS diode with a 60V peak pulse power rating.

Applications for TVS diodes include computers, telecom/data systems, medical devices, industrial control systems, consumer electronics, automotive circuits, and power supplies. The 3KP60CA is especially well-suited for surge protection in secondary side of isolated high voltage DC/DC converters in automotive onboard electronic systems.

The 3KP60CA TVS diode works by clamping voltages that exceed the rated protection voltage and shunting the excess current away from sensitive components. The device is manufactured with a low capacitance body diode that provides fast response to transient events and configurations such as UniDirectional and BiDirectional for enhanced protection. When the tension is over the rated protection voltage, by balancing the charge injection of the PN junction and the stored charge of the semiconductor layer, the 3KP60CA effectively clamps the voltage, limiting the peak of the transient voltage.

In addition to its surge protection capabilities, the 3KP60CA also offers low power losses, low leakage current, and low capacitance. The device has a maximum clamping voltage of 21.2V and a maximum peak pulse power of 60V. It has a maximum allowed peak pulse current of 6A and a peak pulse current of 12A. The maximum leakage current is 1uA and the capacitance is 0.006pF. The operational temperature range is specified from -40°C to +125°C.

The 3KP60CA TVS diode is an ideal solution for protecting circuit components from transient fluctuation. Its low capacitance ensures fast response to transients and its low power losses, low leakage current, and wide operational temperature range make it suitable for a variety of applications. By clamping overvoltage and shunting excessive current away from sensitive devices, the 3KP60CA offers reliable protection from signal distortion and trans
