5KP17AHE3/73

The 5KP17AHE3/73 is a zero-breaking unidirectional device offering various protection solutions. This sophisticated TVS diode offers excellent transient protection with its stable and consistent working performance.

This TVS device is designed for general-purpose industrial applications of medium to high voltage. It is specifically designed for applications using 10 kV and higher voltages. It helps protect power electronic components from any transient voltage stress. It also helps protect sensitive circuits from lightning induced over-voltages. It provide a high level of electrical protection for components including semiconductors, metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) and thyristors.

The 5KP17AHE3/73 has two main operating states. It works as a diode during normal operations, providing low forward bias voltage drop and low leakage current. When the system voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the diode, it changes to a highly resistive state. This change occurs within nanoseconds and does not cause any permanent damage to the system. During this mode, it will absorb all the excess energy that would have damaged the device. When the voltage returns to normal levels, it will automatically switch back to its original state and continue to operate.

The 5KP17AHE3/73 is suitable for both automotive and industrial applications. With its compact design, it is suitable for technologies such as vehicle-powered systems and high frequency inverters. It has high surge capability and high blocking capability. It provides enhanced protection from lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD), induced electrical transients, and short circuits caused by inductive loads.

The 5KP17AHE3/73 is a versatile TVS diode that offers multiple protections in one package. Its design is tailored for power electronics and industrial applications. Its unique design ensures great protection against transient voltage stress, ESD, and lightning induced over-voltages. With its excellent surge capability and small form factor, it provides more efficient and reliable protection for sensitive circuits.
