5KP33HE3/54

TVS - Diodes are a type of semiconductor device that is specifically designed to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage transients and other electrical instabilities. In this context, 5KP33HE3/54 is a transient voltage suppression diode specifically designed to provide protection against electrical transients and surges.

Application Field

5KP33HE3/54 can be used to protect sensitive equipment exposed to voltage surges caused by external or internal sources. It is especially suitable for protection against voltage transients, over-voltage, and surges in sensitive electronic applications such as peripherals, telecom equipment, low voltage systems, automotive systems, and power supplies. 5KP33HE3/54 can also be used to protect connected components from permanent damage due to potential electrocution hazard or any unexpected voltage or current fluctuations.

Working Principle

The 5KP33HE3/54 is a passive component that works according to the working principle of a Zener diode. Zener diodes are specially designed to breakdown at a pre-determined voltage level and when the voltage exceeds that level, the diode conducts current in the opposite direction, providing protection against voltage spikes and current surges.

The 5KP33HE3/54 is a 5.6 kilovolt voltage suppressor diode with self-healing capability. It is designed to provide protection against electrostatic discharges (ESD), inductive switching surges and damaging transient over voltage events due to lightning or power dips and restore without any external intervention. It has an operating temperature range from -55°C to 175°C and peak pulse power of 3,000W.

Conclusion

The 5KP33HE3/54 is a highly reliable and robust protection diode suitable for a wide range of applications. It can provide effective protection against voltage and current transients, surges, and other electrical instabilities while operating at very low voltage and current levels. It can also self-heal itself in most cases and provide continuous protection.
