5KP7.0AE3/TR13

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are used to protect a circuit from transients, which are short bursts of energy such as those caused by lightning strikes. They are commonly used to protect sensitive circuits in industrial, commercial, and consumer electronics applications. The 5KP7.0AE3/TR13 is a bi-directional, low capacitance TVS diode designed to provide protection against transient voltages in high-reliability data and signal lines.

Application Field

The 5KP7.0AE3/TR13 diode is generally used in high-reliability applications such as computer/network peripherals, computer and servers, mobile device data/display ports, video/security cameras, and USB ports. It is also capable of protecting low capacitance data/signal lines, such as twisted pair, coaxial cables, and ribbon cables.

Working Principle

The 5KP7.0AE3/TR13 diode works by providing low capacitance protection for fast data/signal lines. When connected in series with the signal lines, it acts as a safety valve that limits the voltage rise and fall—by clamping the peak voltage—in the event of a surge or transients. This allows the circuits and signal lines to remain unharmed. The diode also has a low reaction time, allowing it to respond quickly in the event of transients or surges.

Key Characteristics

The 5KP7.0AE3/TR13 diode has the following key characteristics:

• Low capacitance: The diode has a low clamping voltage, which reduces noise on the signal lines for better signal integrity.
• High-reliability: The diode has high reliability, with a capable surge current of 200A (10/1000μs).
• Low leakage current: The diode has a low leakage current allowing it to minimize power dissipation when the cirucit is not under heavy transient currents.
• Reverse-bias protection: The diode has reverse-bias protection, which prevents it from damaging due to reverse voltage.

Conclusion

The 5KP7.0AE3/TR13 diode is a low capacitance transient suppressing diode used to protect data and signal lines against transients and surges. It has a low capacitance, high-reliability, low leakage current and reverse-bias protection, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
