TVS - Diodes provide a key role in electrical protection in various applications. The 5KP20C-B is no exception – a transient voltage suppressor designed for reliable over-voltage protection and surge response in a variety of electronic components. Understanding the principles behind the 5KP20C-B is essential to ensure it can best meet the requirements of a specific application.

Application Fields

The 5KP20C-B is designed for use with automotive, industrial, telecoms and other applications where transient surge protection is needed. These include:

• Automobiles – the 5KP20C-B is ideal for use in cars and other vehicles, providing electrical spike protection from problems such as under-hood surges.
• Industrial – the 5KP20C-B is designed to protect industrial electronics from electrical surges.
• Telecommunications – The 5KP20C-B is designed to protect telecommunications equipment from electrical spikes.
• Consumer Electronics – The 5KP20C-B is ideal for use in consumer electronics, such as computers, mobile phones, and home gadgets, to protect them from electrical surges.

Working Principle

The 5KP20C-B uses the same working principle as all other transient voltage suppressors; it provides protection to components by limiting and suppressing the over-voltage by discharging or suppressing the surge current. It operates by allowing a limited amount of energy to pass through the device when a voltage transient occurs. This amount of energy is determined by the voltage breakdown voltage of the device. It should be noted that the device will not fully protect components from electrical spikes and surges, but it will reduce the amount of damage and strain on components.

The 5KP20C-B is designed to operate in pulse operation conditions and works by dissipating energy by a low voltage breakdown. It also features a low turn-on and turn-off time, and a low forward voltage. When the voltage transient occurs, the device will breakdown to divert the current and release it as heat, thus reducing the strain on the components. The breakdown voltage determines the amount of energy dissipated, with the higher the voltage, the more energy will be dissipated. After the transient has passed, the device will reset itself, allowing it to be used in the next surge.

In order for the 5KP20C-B to work effectively, it must be connected correctly. The surge protection device must be connected in series with the component to help dissipate the over-voltage. This helps to minimize the stress on the component and dissipate the excess voltage and energy. It should also be noted that the 5KP20C-B can only provide protection from transients up to 20kV/µs.

The 5KP20C-B is a reliable transient voltage suppressor designed for use in a variety of applications. It is designed to provide optimal over-voltage protection and surge response, reducing the strain on components by dissipating the excess voltage and energy. Knowing the principles behind the 5KP20C-B is essential to ensuring it can best meet the requirements of a specific application.
