TVS diodes are commonly known as transient voltage suppressors and their purpose is to protect electric circuits from overvoltage transients. The 5KP170A-E3/54 is a high-performance TVS diode capable of protecting much higher voltage levels than other TVS diodes available on the market. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require the protection of circuits, components, or equipment from extremely high voltages and current surges.

The 5KP170A-E3/54 TVS diode has a voltage range of 170V and a working peak pulse power of 5kW. It is capable of responding to any high voltage transients within nanoseconds and absorbing up to 5kW in power. The device is also capable of withstanding an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, and features a power derating of 20mW/ °C after 85°C. Additionally, the diode also features a low leakage current, which ensures that the voltage stays within the safety limits of the equipment.

The 5KP170A-E3/54 diode is mainly used in automotive and industrial electrical/electronic systems, such as mobiles, computers, and household electronic devices, and is also well-suited to other applications such as power supplies, load switches, inverters, and UPS systems. In automotive applications, it can be used to protect the circuits from voltage spikes, electrostatic discharges, and surges caused by lighting. Similarly, in industrial applications, it is used to protect the equipment from surges caused by inductive loads, which often occur in motor-driven processes.

The general working principle of the 5KP170A-E3/54 is, in a nutshell, to clamp the overvoltage transients to the diode’s threshold voltage, protecting the transmitted signal from damage. In order to clamp a voltage, the device employs a clamping circuit, which works as follows: When the transient voltage reaches the diode’s breakdown voltage, current flows through the diode and reduces the voltage across it to the diode’s clamping voltage in order to prevent further current flow.

These can be summarized in the following steps:

• When an overvoltage transient is received, the 5KP170A-E3/54 TVS diode begins to conduct current.
• When the transient voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the diode, current starts to flow through the diode.
• The current reduces the voltage across the diode to its clamping voltage.
• The diode then clamps the overvoltage transient to the diode’s threshold voltage in order to protect the transmitted signal from damage.

The 5KP170A-E3/54 TVS diode is well suited for a variety of applications that require high-voltage protection from overvoltage transients. With its high-performance ratings, it is capable of protecting critical electrical/electronic systems from damage due to surges and spikes caused by lightning, inductive loads, and electrostatic discharges. The device also features a low leakage current, as well as an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C that makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. As a result, it provides unparalleled circuit protection and reliability in challenging environments.
