TVS - Diodes

Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) Diodes are well known for providing a protective layer between an electrical component and an overload in order to protect it from short circuits. They are used for a variety of applications and are available in many different sizes and configurations that can be tailored to different applications. The 5KP150CAE3 / TR13 is an example of a TVS Diode. In this article we will examine the application fields and principles of operation of this type of device.

Application Fields

The 5KP150CAE3 / TR13 is typically used to protect against overvoltage, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and electrical surges. It can also be used to protect storage media, such as memory cards and USB drives, from damage due to high voltage or ESD. In addition, it is commonly used in automotive electronics, as well as in computers, medical equipment, and industrial applications.

Working Principle

The 5KP150CAE3 / TR13 is designed to work by redirecting the surge current, voltage, or ESD away from protected components following an overvoltage, ESD, or surge event. It does this using a clamping mechanism, which creates a low impedance path for the excess current or voltage, dissipating it as heat so it can not damage protected components. The 5KP150CAE3/ TR13 is constructed with a zener diode and a spark gap, which are connected in parallel. The zener diode is the more robust and more efficient component, and is capable of blocking voltages up to its breakdown voltage, while the spark gap is used for very high surges of voltage, such as those coming from lightning or power spikes. The zener diode has two pins, and when the voltage across it becomes too high, electrons from the electrons from the surrounding material are drawn onto the junction, allowing the surplus voltage to be diverted away from the protected components. The spark gap acts as an emergency back-up in situations where the zener diode is not suitable, as it is designed to withstand much higher voltage pulses.

Conclusion

The 5KP150CAE3 / TR13 Transient Voltage Suppressor Diode is a versatile and dependable device for protecting sensitive components from overvoltage, ESD, and surges. Its construction of a zener diode and spark gap provides both efficiency and reliability, making it well suited for a variety of applications.
