3KP90A

TVS - Diodes

A transient-voltage-suppression diode, or TVS-diode, is an electronic component that is used to protect electrical systems from high-voltage transients. The TVS-diode is a reverse-biased silicon diode designed to clamp high-voltage transients to safe levels. It can be used to protect circuits from over-voltage transients that may cause device malfunction or equipment damage. TVS-diodes are widely used in automotive, industrial, medical, and telecommunications applications.

The 3KP90A is a 1500w peak power TVS-diode specifically designed for protection from ESD (electrostatic discharge) and EFT (electrical fast transient) surges. It is designed to protect data lines from ESD and EFT transients up to 15kV, and can also be used for over-voltage protection in sensitive systems. This device has a low capacitance of 260pF, and a fast response time of 4ns. It is also RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant and UL (Underwriters Laboratories) recognized.

The 3KP90A is a bidirectional TVS-diode, meaning that it has two active terminals: cathode and anode. The cathode is the "-" terminal and the anode is the "+" terminal. When a high-voltage transient occurs, the diode will short the transient voltage across the terminals and clamp it to a safe level. The operating voltage of the diode is typically 15V, which is the maximum voltage that can be applied to the terminals without causing device failure.

The 3KP90A is available in a variety of packages, such as chip, leadless, or surface mount. It also has a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C, making it suitable for a variety of applications in extreme temperature environments.

The 3KP90A is a reliable and cost-effective solution for protecting sensitive electronic systems from over-voltage transients or ESD surges. The device can be used in automotive, industrial, medical, and telecommunications applications, as well as in consumer and military electronic systems.
