TVS - Diodes are a form of protection gear used in numerous applications to protect electric and electronic components, equipment and systems from short duration high intensity surges. The 5KP58A-G is a unidirectional 5.8Vaxial Silicon Avalanche Diode designed specifically to serve as protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other electrical transients. This diode has two main characteristics - its breakdown voltage and its leakage current.

The breakdown voltage of 5KP58A-G is specified for use in high surge applications. It is typically used in test and measurement equipment, low-voltage data lines, personal computers, GPS receivers, instrumentation and other applications that require protection from electrical transients. Its maximum peak pulse current capability is 500A. It also has excellent surge resistance and a low clamping voltage.

The working principle for the 5KP58A-G is that it operates as an avalanche diode, meaning when the voltage at its anode is increased to a predetermined level, it enters in to voltage avalanche state which causes it to clamp the excess current. Because of this, the 5KP58A-G can also be used in low-voltage applications, such as those found in consumer electronics.

The 5KP58A-G can provide protection in a variety of environments and applications, such as automotive, industrial, medical, consumer electronics, and many more. As an example, it can be used in applications such as signal protection for low power devices, home appliances, motor controls, and other applications. It can also be used in automotive systems to protect against electrostatic discharge and other electrical transients, providing reliable and effective ESD protection.

For applications that need more than the 500A of peak pulse current of the 5KP58A-G, additional protection is often needed. In these cases, a combination of TVS - Diodes, MOVs (Metal-Oxide Varistor) and Gas Discharge Tubes can be combined to provide the necessary protection from transients. In addition, TVS - Diodes and MOVs, can also provide protection from over-voltage conditions caused by electrical surges.

The 5KP58A-G combines a low leakage current with a breakdown voltage that can be tailored to the requirements of each application. These features, along with excellent surge resistance and a low clamping voltage, make the device a suitable choice for various protection applications. Furthermore, it can be used for low-power applications where ESD protection and low on-state voltage drop is needed. The 5KP58A-G is suitable for use in TVS - Diodes, circuits, and its operation and application are well-understood.
