5KP26HE3/73

TVS-Diodes

TVS, or Transient Voltage Suppressors, are a type of diode used to protect electronic components from voltage surges. They are used in circuits to protect against electrical transients, such as lightning or electrostatic discharges. TVS diodes are widely used in power supplies, automotive, industrial, telecommunications, and computer applications. The 5KP26HE3/73 is a type of TVS diode that can be used in a variety of applications.

Application Field

The 5KP26HE3/73 diode was designed to protect against high-temperature transient overvoltage or surge events, and can handle up to 26V peak reverse voltage. Its operating temperature range is from -65C to 150C, and its peak power dissipation is 750W. It is also RoHS compliant and ESD protected.

The 5KP26HE3/73 can be used in various applications, such as power supplies, auto ignition systems, industrial systems, telecom equipment, and computer systems. It is suitable for protection of data lines, control lines, and power lines, as well as for protection of sensitive components such as FPGAs and ASICs.

Working Principle

The 5KP26HE3/73 diode works by clamping the voltage in the circuit. When a transient overvoltage occurs, the diode\'s voltage clamping action limits the maximum voltage seen by the circuit\'s components. This prevents components from being damaged due to overvoltage, while still allowing the normal voltage to flow through the circuit.

The 5KP26HE3/73 diode also has a low leakage current. This provides protection against electrostatic discharges, and also helps to reduce any interference with the electronic signals passing through the circuit. The diode is designed to allow high surge current (up to 5 amps), which provides additional protection against voltage transients.

Conclusion

The 5KP26HE3/73 is a type of TVS diode that can be used to protect circuits and components from transient voltage surges. It is suitable for use in power supplies, auto ignition systems, industrial systems, telecom equipment, and computer systems. It has a peak reverse voltage rating of 26V, and is designed to allow high surge current (up to 5A). It also has low leakage current, which provides protection against electrostatic discharges and reduces interference with electronic signals.

The 5KP26HE3/73 diode is a reliable and cost effective solution for surge protection, and is RoHS compliant and ESD protected. It is an ideal choice for protecting circuits and components against transient voltage surges.
