5KP36CA-TP

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor Diodes) devices are used to protect valuable electronics equipment from potentially damaging high-energy, voltage transients. When exposed to a sufficient surge of energy, the device absorbs the energy of the transient and shunts it harmlessly to ground. 5KP36CA-TP is one of the TVS diodes that has various applications in the market.

Application Field

5KP36CA-TP is designed to provide superior overvoltage protection when connected to a ground bus bar. This TVS diode is ideal for high-energy, positive and negative voltage applications. It is suitable for use in automotive, consumer electronic and industrial equipment, medical equipment, mobile devices, and military and aerospace equipment.

The 5KP36CA-TP diode has many practical applications in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, and communications systems. It also provides electrostatic discharge protection from high-energy transients in communications networks, data centers, server equipment, along with automotive and industrial automation.

Working Principle

The 5KP36CA-TP is a Zener diode designed to clamp voltage transient and reduce peak reverse breakdown voltage, allowing for higher avalanche energy absorption. It is constructed with an extended plating of the P+ region at the Cathode edge for high junction temperature stability. It features low dynamic resistance and low clamping voltage, and increased peak power capability.

The 5KP36CA-TP has a working principle that is quite easy to understand. Its cathode is connected to the circuit ground, and when exposed to a surge of energy, the device absorbs the energy of the transient and shunts it to ground. This helps protect the valuable electronics equipment from the potentially damaging highvoltage transients. The effect of the 5KP36CA-TP diode is enhanced by a Zener-clamping voltage which is determined by the breakdown voltage of the diode.

The 5KP36CA-TP also features an ESD suppressor which provides protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD). This device is designed to absorb the energy during the discharge and reduce the peak voltage that is transferred to the sensitive electronic components.

The 5KP36CA-TP is designed to provide superior overvoltage protection when connected to a ground bus bar. The Zener-clamping voltage, avalanche voltage, and peak power capability are determined by the breakdown voltage of the diode, allowing for greater surge protection.
