​TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors), also known as Transil or SPD (Surge Protective Device) Diodes are used to protect sensitive electronics and offer protection against damaging voltages and currents that can occur in circuits. 5KP170A-G is one of the best-selling TVS diodes that offer an efficient solution in applications such as portable electronics and power supplies.

The 5KP170A-G application field includes a wide range of control systems, such as motor controllers, servo drives, PLC’s, and similar control systems, as well as a wide range of data communication systems including industrial communication networks like CAN networks, RS-485 networks, fibre optics, etc. In addition, 5KP170A-G is often used for surge protection in electronic circuits.

The working principle of the 5KP170A-G is that it acts as a short circuit between its anode and cathode until the reverse voltage between its anode and cathode rises above its rated breakdown voltage. When the voltage rises above the breakdown voltage, the TVS diode conducts current across its reverse-biased junction.] The current increases faster than the voltage due to the avalanche multiplication effect in the PN junction at high electric fields. The TVS diode can conduct current up to its specified maximum clamping voltage, after which it will turn off.

In addition to being designed for surge protection, the 5KP170A-G also has advanced ESD protection. It is designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from electrostatic discharge (ESD) up to 8KV, and can be used for ESD protection both in machine-to-machine and machine-to-ground applications.

The 5KP170A-G is also widely used for lightning protection. When lightning strikes, the 5KP170A-G is able to suppress the peak of the pulse voltage up to its rating. The peak current is also suppressed and so the remaining voltage is greatly reduced to safe levels.

The 5KP170A-G also has an accurate performance that meets the latest standards for transient protection. Its current rating is able to effectively prevent the current from exceeding its maximum rating, and the current profile for a given duration of time is consistent with the latest industry standards.

The 5KP170A-G can also operate at high temperatures, up to 175°C, making it suitable for applications with extreme environmental conditions. The 5KP170A-G is designed with a hybrid of silicon polymers, which allows it to sustain high temperatures without changes in performance.

In summary, the 5KP170A-G is an excellent surge protection device for a wide range of applications. It offers a protection against damaging voltages and currents, and its low capacitance ensures a low di/dt. The 5KP170A-G also provides protection against ESD, lightning, and high temperatures. It provides an efficient and accurate solution at a competitive price.
