In this article, we will discuss the applications and working principles of the 5KP180E3/TR13 TVS Diode.

Applications of 5KP180E3/TR13 TVS Diode

The 5KP180E3/TR13 TVS Diode is a great choice for protecting sensitive electronic components and circuits from transients, spikes and EMI. It is well-suited for line and power cord protection, AC/DC input/output isolation, and protection of sensitive analog and digital inputs. This diode has a low clamping voltage with a high peak pulse power rating, making it ideal for a variety of applications. It can be used in automotive, industrial, medical equipment, home appliances, telecommunication, and consumer electronic equipment.

The 5KP180E3/TR13 TVS Diode is designed for protection against electrical transients in various applications, such as pulsed laser diodes, computers, modems, satellite receivers, and game consoles. It can also be used in audio equipment, such as headphones, amplifiers, and receivers. This diode is an ideal choice for circuits and applications with low current, as its low dynamic on-state resistance ensures minimal power losses.

Working Principle of 5KP180E3/TR13 TVS Diode

The 5KP180E3/TR13 TVS Diode works by clamping any excessive voltage that enters it above the maximum limit. The device has a high voltage breakdown rating, and when it is exposed to a high voltage transient or EMI, it acts as a clamp to absorb the excessive energy and then safely dissipate it in the form of heat. By clamping any transient, it prevents it from damaging sensitive components and short-circuiting the circuit. The diode also has a low capacitance, which helps minimize any interference caused by EMI.

In order for the diode to work properly, it needs to be placed in the right position within the circuit. At the point where a transient is expected, the diode should be connected between the power source and ground. This will ensure that any transient impulses are clamped by the diode and not communicated to the circuit or equipment, protecting it from damage. Additionally, the 5KP180E3/TR13 TVS Diode can also be connected in line between a conductor and ground, to provide protection against any EMI.

Conclusion

The 5KP180E3/TR13 TVS Diode is an effective and reliable component for protecting delicate equipment from voltage spikes and EMI. It has a low clamping voltage and a high peak pulse power rating that make it an ideal choice for use in a wide variety of applications, such as automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics. It has a low capacitance that helps minimize any interference caused by EMI, and its low Dynamic On-State Resistance ensures minimal power losses. Furthermore, it can be placed in line between a conductor and ground, to provide protection against any EMI. Overall, the 5KP180E3/TR13 TVS Diode is a great choice for protecting sensitive electronic components and circuits from transients, spikes and EMI.
