TVS - Diodes

Transient Voltage Suppressor diodes (TVSs) are semiconductor devices primarily designed to protect circuits from voltage transients that may damage electronics due to their high surge current capability, fast response time, and low breakover voltage. TVS diodes serve as a back-up protection device should the primary protection methods fail. Among the different types of TVS diodes, 5KP17A-G is one of the most commonly used. It is a unidirectionally conductive Zener-diode, specially designed to protect electronics against damage caused by electrostatic discharge, power cross, and other transient voltage surges. It has the following features:

• Breakover voltage rated between 5.7V and 22V
• High peak pulse power of 15kW
• Small size package
• Low clamping voltage
• High peak surge current rating of 53A
• High peak Pulse Power Ratings

5KP17A-G is widely used in today’s industries for its reliability and ability to protect electronics from damaging events. It can be found in a variety of applications, such as automotive, consumer electronics, communication systems, computers, home appliances, and industrial control systems. The main working principle of 5KP17A-G is that it limits the voltage spike within a system. It is designed with a specific breakdown voltage, so that when the voltage reaches or exceeds the specified level, the 5KP17A-G diode starts conducting and it instantly reduces the voltage within the system. The construction of 5KP17A-G includes two main components: a sensitive semiconductor rectifier and a Zener diode. The rectifier portion is designed to quickly clamp the voltage below the breakdown voltage and prevent damage to the system. The Zener diode helps to regulate the voltage by providing a reference voltage which tells the diode when to start conducting.Once the voltage reaches the breakdown level, the diode conducts a controlled current as well as dissipating the energy that is generated. This allows for the energy to be regulated before it harms delicate electronics. This is done by clamping the voltage at a safe level by converting the excess current to heat and then dissipating it away from the system. In conclusion, 5KP17A-G is designed to protect a system from voltage transients and other damages caused by electrostatic discharge. Its fast response time and high surge current capability make it suitable for a variety of applications ranging from automotive and consumer electronics to industrial control systems. The construction of the 5KP17A-G includes a sensitive semiconductor rectifier and a Zener diode which works together to provide the necessary protection.
