Working Principle:
The 5KP120E3/TR13 is designed to protect sensitive electrical components from damage due to voltage transients or spikes. It works by clamping the incoming voltage to a safe level before it can reach the protected component. The device features a low leakage current and a fast response time so that it can effectively clamp incoming voltages in a timely fashion. Once clamped, the device is able to dissipate any remaining energy, protecting the component from damage.

In the event of a voltage transient or spike, the 5KP120E3/TR13 acts as a voltage clamp. It absorbs any excess voltage, protecting the protected component from damage. The device features a low capacitance structure that allows it to respond quickly to voltage transients and spikes. This fast response time is essential for the device to effectively protect the component from damage.

When a transient voltage begins to rise, the 5KP120E3/TR13 absorbs it, clamping it to a safe level and dissipating the excess voltage as heat. This protects the protected component from damage, ensuring its safe operation. Once the transient has been absorbed, the device is able to reset itself and be ready for another transient event, providing reliable protection.

The 5KP120E3/TR13 offers an effective solution to protecting sensitive electrical and electronics components against voltage transients and spikes. With a Stand off of 12V and a peak pulse power rating of 600W (tp=8/20μs), it is a great solution for a variety of applications. It\'s low leakage current and fast response time make it the perfect choice for protecting components from damaging voltage transients.
