TVS - Diodes

Transient voltage suppressors (TVS) are a type of protection device which are mainly used to protect electrical circuits. TVS devices, also known as avalanche diodes, lightning arrestors, or transzorb diodes, are diodes which are specifically designed to protect against transient voltage spikes, specifically high-energy voltage spikes such as electro-static discharge (ESD) and lightning surges generated by external sources.

The 5KP15A-E3/73 TVS diode is specially designed to protect against ESD, surge and transient high-energy over-voltage events. With 1500W peak pulse power dissipation and 15kV breakdown voltage rating, the 5KP15A-E3/73 has a maximum clamping voltage of 17.1V. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications including automotive, computer and consumer electronics, communication, industrial equipment, and more.

Working Principle

TVS diodes work by providing an alternate path for a power surge to follow, allowing the surge current to flow away from the sensitive components. The TVS diode is connected in parallel to the circuit being protected, where it acts as a ‘clamp’ or ‘valve’. When a voltage surge or other transient voltage event occurs, the TVS diode provides a low impedance path to divert the extra energy. This prevents the voltage from being propagated into the circuit and potentially damaging its components.

The 5KP15A-E3/73 TVS diode works in a similar manner, but with additional features. The 5KP15A-E3/73 has integrated ESD protection capacitors that provide additional protection against ESD and lightning events. The diode also has an ESD withstand voltage of 8KV, rated for Class 3 on the EN61000-4-2 standard.
