5KP5.0C-B

TVS (transient voltage suppressors) diodes are protective components designed to protect electronic circuits from undesired voltages exceeding the normal operating threshold. The 5KP5.0C-B TVS diode is a Uni-Polar, single-directional device designed for transient overvoltage protection applications such as equipment failure protection, device or circuit protection, surge protection, and system electrostatic discharge protection.

The 5KP5.0C-B devices are designed to protect higher power lines in various electrical equipment by diverting excessive transients to ground. When the input voltage exceeds the specified breakdown voltage, the 5KP5.0C-B will be triggered and shut down the circuit, where a reset button will be needed to turn it back on. This will prevent sudden spike and over voltage due to ESD or surge protection against damages on electronic devices.

The working principle is relatively simple. The 5KP5.0C-B uses an avalanche breakdown technology and is designed to conduct in one direction only. When the input voltage exceeds the device\'s breakdown voltage, the device will rapidly start to conduct current and divert the transient to ground. When the input voltage falls below the device\'s breakdown voltage, the device\'s current flow stops and the device turns off.

The 5KP5.0C-B has an industry-standard 0.25" pin configuration, which allows it to be used with standard mounting systems. It is also designed to fit into standard DIP packages for applications such as displays, computers, cell phone chargers, and other low-voltage applications. It can be used across a wide range of voltages and is designed to handle up to 5kV of transient voltage protection.

The 5KP5.0C-B is designed to provide excellent surge and ESD protection in a variety of applications. It is approved by UL and the CSA and can also be used in RoHS compliant applications. It is suitable for use in a broad range of consumer, automotive, and industrial applications such as displays, communications, computers, cell phone chargers, and other low-voltage applications.

In summary, the 5KP5.0C-B is a Uni-Polar, single-directional diode designed to safeguarding electronic components from damaging surges. It is designed for transient overvoltage protection applications and is approved by UL and CSA and suitable for RoHS compliant applications. Its small size, low capacitance and excellent surge performance make it suitable for a variety of consumer, automotive, and industrial applications.
