5KASMC13AHM3/57

TVS - Diodes are a type of electronic component used for providing surge protection and improved signal quality in a circuit. They are used in many applications, including automotive, electric vehicles, medical equipment, communications systems, and consumer electronics. The 5KASMC13AHM3/57 TVS - Diode is a state-of-the-art alternative to traditional protections methods such as voltage-signal clamps, fuses, and MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors). It is a three-terminal component that can be used to protect against damaging electrical transients such as surges, ESD, and lightning strikes. This device can be configured for either signal or power transients, depending on the user\'s application.

The 5KASMC13AHM3/57 TVS - Diode is a Unidirectional device which is rated for a peak pulse power of 15kW (at 10/1000s). It has an avalanche breakover voltage of 8.2V and a voltage clamp of 13V. This device is built with a very fast transient response, with a clamping time of less than 1 ns. It is also designed with a low stand-off voltage, between 4.0V and 9.9V, allowing it to be used in lower-voltage applications.

The device has a wide operating temperature range from -55 °C to +125 °C, making it suitable for use in a variety of environments. Its high surge protection rating makes it ideal for applications that require protection against transient surges and ESD. The device also has a very low leakage current, as low as 0.05A for low-voltage applications.

The 5KASMC13AHM3/57 TVS - Diode has a variety of applications, mainly focusing on protecting low-voltage circuits from transient surges and ESD. It can be used to protect circuitry in automotive applications, computers, medical equipment, communications systems, and consumer electronics. With its low stand-off voltage and very fast transient response, the device can be used in a range of high-current applications where traditional protection methods such as MOVs or fuses would not be suitable.

The working principle of the 5KASMC13AHM3/57 TVS - Diode is based on the avalanche breakdown effect. When the peak voltage of a transient crosses the diode\'s breakdown voltage, the current starts to flow in a highly non-linear manner. The current forms an avalanche of minority charge carriers, which quickly reduces the voltage across the diode and clamps it to a predetermined level. This clamping protects the circuit from the damaging effects of a transient.

In summary, the 5KASMC13AHM3/57 TVS - Diode is a robust, high-performance surge protection device designed for low-voltage applications. It is very fast and reliable, with a wide temperature range and excellent surge protection rating. It can be used in many different applications, including automotive, computers, medical equipment, communications systems, and consumer electronics.
