5KP51CA-HRA Circuit Protection

TVS - Diodes are an excellect protective component for users desiring reliable circuit protection in high-power systems and applications with high currents and voltages. The 5KP51CA-HRA is a specialized TVS - Diode suitable for use in dense PCBs and multi-phase power systems. Manufactured by competitor semiconductor giant STMicroelectronics, this component provides short-circuit protection for single-phase and multi-phase power systems.

The 5KP51CA-HRA is a two-terminal component that offers up to 5,000 watts of peak pulse power protection. It is UL Recognized, has an operating temperature range of -55 to +175°C, and has a VBR (breakdown voltage) of 6.8V to 51V. These ratings make it suitable for various applications, including the protection of high-power automotive, industrial, and military systems.

The 5KP51CA-HRA offers the same basic features and benefits as other TVS - Diodes, such as low capacitance and ESD protection for up to 350V common model standards. What sets it apart from other TVS - Diodes is its unique construction. It is a two-terminal component that is designed to fit a variety of board styles and layouts. It has a longer body and larger pins than the two-diode design, which helps reduce stress on the PCB and facilitate insertion. The chip also features two integrated diodes for additional circuit protection. This combination of features makes the 5KP51CA-HRA one of the most reliable TVS - Diodes on today’s market.

On the inside, the 5KP51CA-HRA contains a zener diode and a metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). The diode is responsible for providing a high level of protection, while the MOSFET is one of the key elements responsible for the component’s low capacitance. Together, the two elements provide excellent protection from high voltages and currents while also providing a low insertion impedance and excellent ESD protection. The component is also rated for operation at high temperatures, making it suitable for applications in harsh environments.

The 5KP51CA-HRA is a versatile device that can be used as a current-limiting device, current-blocking device, zero-voltage switching device, and line-holder device in a variety of systems. It is well-suited for automotive, industrial, and military applications, such as those involving motor drives, power converters, LCD TVs, and appliances. Furthermore, this component can be used in telecom and medical applications as well. All in all, the 5KP51CA-HRA is a reliable, robust, and cost-effective solution for designers striving to improve circuit protection for their high-power systems.
