TVS, or Transient Voltage Suppressors, are components used to suppress voltage transients which occur due to induced overvoltage or lightning surges beyond the designed threshold voltage. TVS diodes are one of the most cost-effective and reliable solutions to protect computer and electronic equipment from voltage transients. This article will focus on the 5KP60A-E3/73 TVS diode and its application fields and working principles.

The 5KP60A-E3/73 is a unidirectional, bidirectional, tri-directional, or quad-directional transient voltage suppressor diode. The diode series is available in a variety of voltage ranges, from 5V to 170V. This series is packaged in a DO-219AB and the standard features include low clamping voltage, low leakage current, small size, and high surge current capability. The 5KP60A-E3/73 is suitable for low-voltage applications such as automotive electronic control units, electronic entertainment systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive lighting systems, and DC power supplies.

The 5KP60A-E3/73 series is designed to protect low voltage ICs from voltage transients caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) and induced lightning surges to ground and power lines. When a voltage transient occurs, the 5KP60A-E3/73 will quickly and safely clamp the transient before it can damage the protected equipment. The clamping voltage of the diode depends on the voltage rating of the diode; thus, it is important to select the correct voltage rating to ensure the greatest protection.

The working principle of the 5KP60A-E3/73 is that when the input voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, the TVS will activate and conduct current. The current will be shunted away from the protected circuit and will be diverted to the diode. As the current flow decreases, the diode will gradually reduce the current flow and the system will return to its original state.

The 5KP60A-E3/73 is an ideal protection solution for automotive, telecommunication, and consumer electronics applications. It provides excellent protection against voltage transients and ESD, and its small size ensures it can be easily integrated into various PCB designs. The 5KP60A-E3/73 is available in both unipolar and bipolar configurations, which makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. Its high surge current capability and low breakdown voltage also makes it a reliable and cost-effective solution for various electronic applications.
