TVS - Diodes

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are a type of semiconductor devices, commonly used in a variety of electronic applications. They are designed to protect sensitive components and circuits from surges of high voltage or current, such as those caused by lightning strikes, power fluctuations, electrostatic discharge, and electrical overstress. The 5KP36AHE3/54 is a type of TVS diode manufactured by Vishay. This article examines the application field and working principle of the 5KP36AHE3/54.

Application Field

TVS diodes, including the 5KP36AHE3/54, are typically used in applications such as computer networks and telecommunications, automotive electronics, and industrial applications in order to protect against surges in voltage or current. The 5KP36AHE3/54 is a 5.0kW Unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor Diode which can provide protection from high voltage or current surge up to 36A on an unidirectional basis. This makes it ideal for protecting sensitive electronic components from the damaging effects of overvoltage or overcurrent.

Working Principle

TVS diodes, including the 5KP36AHE3/54, have a simple yet effective two-terminal design. When unidirectional surges of voltage or current occur, the diode conducts current through its positive terminal and shunts it away from the connected circuit. This effectively protects against overvoltage and overcurrent, allowing the circuit to remain operational. The diode is typically attached directly to the circuit, usually on the power line, and is connected between the circuit and the ground line. When the voltage reaches a certain value, the diode will turn on and provide protection. Once the voltage has fallen to a safe operating level, the diode will turn off again.

Advantages

The 5KP36AHE3/54 has a a number of advantageous features, including a compact construction which makes it suitable for high-density board designs. Its very low leakage current can extended the life of the protected component, while its low capacitance reduces the effects of EMI and RFI. The high surge capacity of the diode allows it to provide dependable protection against the highest voltage and current surges. In addition, a low clamping voltage reduces the risk of component damage due to voltage surges.

Conclusion

The 5KP36AHE3/54 is a valuable component in a variety of electronic applications, providing reliable protection against high voltage and current surges. With its low leakage current, low capacitance, and high surge capacity, it can be relied upon to protect sensitive electronic components and circuits, keeping them safe from damaging overvoltage or overcurrent. This makes the 5KP36AHE3/54 an ideal choice for a variety of applications due to its compact construction, dependable protection, and low clamping voltage.
