TVS diodes, or transient voltage suppression diodes, are protection devices designed to safeguard the electrical system from overvoltage transients on power lines, cables, and data lines. One type of TVS diode is the 5KP17C, a thyrector rated for transient protection in a restricted air volume of 0.75 mm and frequency up to 1 MHz. The 5KP17C is designed to protect equipment in a variety of industries and applications involving computers, telecommunications, and other highly sensitive electronic components.

The 5KP17C silicon single-line thyrector is rated at a surge capability of 17 A with a peak reverse power dissipation (Pd) of 600 W. It has a leaded construction and a plastic package, and it supports two movement levels, which include surface mounting and through-hole mounting. The 5KP17C is unidirectional and is suitable for a variety of applications where voltage clamps are needed for AC, DC, and impulse voltage lines.

The 5KP17C is a highly reliable device designed to protect against transient voltages caused by lightning, electrostatic discharges, and power supply switching. It works by providing an alternative path for transients through its internals, thus allowing the voltage to remain below a predetermined level. This protects parts of the system from too high of a voltage that could be damaging or cause malfunction. This behavior is known as clamping and is a key feature of TVS diodes.

In addition to providing protection, the 5KP17C has an integrated ESD protection circuit that can reduce the current of an impulse voltage from 10 A to 5 A, thus increasing the overall protection of the system. The device also has a built-in thermal overload protection feature, which allows it to automatically adjust its parameters based on external temperature fluctuations. This prevents overheating and reduces the risk of component failure.

The 5KP17C is designed for application in a wide range of industries. It was developed specifically to protect telecommunication and computer equipment, as well as other sensitive electronic components. In the telecommunications industry, it is used to protect equipment such as telephone lines, modems, and routers, while in the computer industry, it can be used to protect video cards, memory chips, and motherboards. It is also used to safeguard automotive and industrial power circuits in equipment such as power supplies, switching regulators, and UPS systems.

The 5KP17C offers unparalleled protection from voltage transients and spikes. Its reliability is ensured by its low-profile design and its ability to quickly react to transient voltages. Its integrated ESD protection and thermal overload protection ensure that the device works as expected, even in the most challenging environmental conditions. The 5KP17C is a must-have for any system that needs to protect its components from potentially damaging transients and surges.
