TVS - Diodes

The 5KP17A-TP surge protection diode is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode suitable for protecting high-value electronic components and circuits. It combines the power dissipation of a Zener diode with the ruggedness of an avalanche diode in a single component. The 5KP17A-TP diode is typically used in telecom and data/signal line interfaces, such as LAN or USB ports. It is also suitable for protecting power supplies, especially at high frequencies, and can also be used in set-top box or laptop applications.

Application Field

The 5KP17A-TP diode is primarily used in applications where high-speed, low-current electronics are needed. These include telecom and data/signal line interfaces, such as WANs, CANs, or USB ports. It is also ideal for protecting high-frequency power supplies, especially when the total power dissipation is high. Of course, it can also be used in any application where overvoltage protection is needed.

Working Principle

The 5KP17A-TP diode is a type of TVS diode. It works by absorbing excessive ESD or transient voltage using a multilayer design. The layers, along with the diodes embedded in them, act as a clamp to keep the voltage on the protected circuit within its specified range. This way, the diode prevents damage to the sensitive circuit components.

Unlike most standard diodes, TVS diodes are designed to perform best when exposed to high transient voltage spikes. In contrast, standard diodes are most effective when exposed to direct, static power. This is why the 5KP17A-TP diode is particularly suitable for high-speed, high-power electronics.

Conclusion

The 5KP17A-TP surge protection diode is a type of transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode. It combines the power dissipation of a Zener diode with the ruggedness of an avalanche diode in a single component. The 5KP17A-TP is ideal for protecting telecom and data/signal line interfaces, as well as high-frequency power supplies, especially when the total power dissipation is high. It is also suitable for any application where overvoltage protection is needed.
