TVS - Diodes Overview

TVS - Diodes, also known as transient voltage suppressor diodes, are components used to help protect electronic devices from overvoltage and electrical transients. Designed to reduce the surge voltage amplitude generated in an overvoltage or lightning strike, TVS - Diodes help ensure the normal operation of all kinds of electronic components, circuits and systems. TVS Diodes come in many different configurations, sizes and power ratings, depending on the specific application field they are designed to be used in length.

5KP200A-TP Application Field and Working Principle

The 5KP200A-TP is a unidirectional TPS Diode, manufactured by Littelfuse. It is designed for applications that require high-power suppression and low clamping voltage. The 5KP200A-TP features a maximum peak power rating of 200A, at a 9.2V peak pulse voltage. Its operating temperature range is from -55°C to 150°C, and it comes in a DO-201-1 package.

The 5KP200A-TP uses a unidirectional stainless steel oxide planar effectively to clamping overvoltage, and its working principle is based on avalanche breakdown. The current flows through the diode, generating a high electric field at the PN junction, which causes carriers to accelerate and gain sufficient energy to reach the conduction band. This creates electron-hole pairs which increase the current in the diode and hence its voltage drops below a certain value.

Since the 5KP200A-TP features a high power rating and low clamping voltage, it is suitable for a various of applications, such as industrial control systems, power hybrids, power and battery chargers, motor controllers, and switching power supplies. It can provide surge protection for the above applications against overvoltage conditions or various transient events.

Conclusion

So in conclusion, the 5KP200A-TP is a unidirectional TPS Diode manufactured by Littelfuse, designed for high-power suppression and low clamping voltage in various industrial and consumer applications. Its working principle is based on avalanche breakdown, and it provides surge protection from overvoltage conditions and transients. This type of diode is just one of the many different types of TVS - Diodes that enable us to protect a wide range of electronic devices and systems.
