5KP36CAE3/TR13

TVS - Diodes are widely used components in many electrical and electronic applications. The 5KP36CAE3/TR13 is a widely used Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode. This component is designed to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes. The 5KP36CAE3/TR13 is designed to absorb transient voltages, up to 36 volts, and protect circuits from voltage spikes. When the voltage spike reaches a certain level, the 5KP36CAE3/TR13 absorbs all of the excess voltage. The electric pulses are channelled through the diode to the ground, safely dispersing the energy without damaging the electrical components.

The 5KP36CAE3/TR13 is most often used in telecommunications systems, automotive electrical systems, and portable electronics, where voltage spikes may occur. It is has a low resistance value and can handle up to 10MHz of regulation. The 5KP36CAE3/TR13 can protect high information rate circuits and other high frequency circuits.

The working principle of the 5KP36CAE3/TR13 is relatively simple. It is basically an avalanche diode, meaning that it is designed to absorb surges of electricity over a predetermined threshold. This threshold is known as the breakdown voltage. This breakdown voltage is dependent on the junction and doping properties of the device. Once the intentional breakdown of the PN junction occurs, current is allowed to flow in both directions. The voltage limiting characteristics of this device allow it to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage transients.

This protection is provided by the 5KP36CAE3/TR13 even when the voltage spike is significantly above the intended breakdown voltage. The degradation of the diode depends on the number of transients that it experiences and the magnitude of the voltage spike. When the breakdown voltage of the device is exceeded, the current will be diverted to the ground, reducing the danger of damage to the application.

The 5KP36CAE3/TR13 is a robust component designed to provide transient voltage suppression for many different electronic applications. It has a wide variety of operating voltages, low capacitance, and low temperature coefficient. The 5KP36CAE3/TR13 is designed to protect sensitive circuitry from voltage strike, making it ideal for use in telecommunications, automotive, and portable electronic applications.
