5KASMC24AHM3_A/H

TVS-diodes are a popular component found in many electrical circuits. The 5KASMC24AHM3_A/H is an ultra-high capacitance, low-leakage, negative-temperature coefficient, TVS-diode. It is ideal for protecting high-speed circuits from both transient overload and lightning. The device can handle up to ten thousand volts with minimum series resistance, as well as suppressing the rise time of transients. The diode is compliant with most international safety regulations, such as UL, BS, CSA, IEC and VDE.

This TVS diode is specifically designed for use in high-speed data line protection. It is capable of handling up to 10kV of transient voltage protection in both AC and DC applications and is UL approved. Its dual-anode configuration enables low-loss current conduction while its ultra-low capacitance ensures minimum signal distortion. The diode also has an industry-leading surge energy capability of 8.5kW (8/20 us pulse waves). The low-capacitance characteristics of the device will also help to minimize ESD/EMI noise coupling.

The working principle of the 5KASMC24AHM3_A/H is based on the principle of breakdown voltage (also known as avalanche breakdown). When a high voltage is applied to the diode, electrons are accelerated in the device, which leads to the formation of an avalanche. This creates an increased concentration of charge carriers, which results in the formation of an electric discharge, and ultimately results in the diode breaking down and dissipating the electric energy. As a result, the device is able to absorb and dissipate transient overvoltage without the circuit breaking down.

TVS diodes are particularly beneficial in areas where protection is required from transient overvoltages, lightning, ESD and EMI. The 5KASMC24AHM3_A/H is ideal for such use, providing up to 10kV of transient voltage protection with minimal series resistance. Its ultra-low capacitance ensures that signal distortion is minimized, while its surge energy capability of 8.5kW allows it to absorb large transient overvoltages. The device is also UL approved, compliant with international standards, and provides excellent protection for high-speed data circuits.
