5KP70-E3/54

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are semiconductor devices specifically designed to protect electronics from high voltage “spikes” caused by lightning and electrostatic discharges. As a front-line of defense against such damaging power surges, TVS diodes provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for protecting sensitive electronics. When used as a voltage clamp, TVS diodes saturate when the voltage spike exceeds the rated threshold and then quickly return to its normal state.

5KP70-E3/54 is a TVS diode specifically designed to protect against over-voltage and electrostatic discharge generated by power surges, lightning spikes, and other power anomalies. It is constructed with a single 5KP70 (70A Peak Pulse Current) diode housed in a NEMA-rated, glass-encapsulated package for use in hostile environments. The device\'s design provides reliable protection and low insertion loss for applications requiring ESD immunity up to 25kV, and operating voltage up to 5.5kV. Furthermore, the 5KP70-E3/54 has an extreme operating temperature range from -65C to 150C, making it suitable for automotive, industrial, and telecommunications applications.

The 5KP70-E3/54 is widely used in automotive and industrial applications where over-voltage (OVP) protection is necessary. It can be used in power supplies, routers, hubs and switches, data networking equipment, meters, and anywhere a reliable and cost effective OVP solution is required. In addition, it is used in off-highway and street vehicles, as well as telematics, aerospace and aviation systems.

The 5KP70-E3/54 works on a simple principle: when supplied with a voltage that exceeds its rated voltage threshold, the device saturates and quickly limits current flow in order to protect the circuit. Once the over-voltage condition has passed, the device returns to its normal state. This simple design ensures that the device can provide reliable over-voltage protection and is therefore widely used in a variety of industries. Furthermore, the 5KP70-E3/54 is capable of protecting dependable circuits from current peaks up to 70A.

In conclusion, 5KP70-E3/54 is a TVS diode designed to provide reliable protection from high voltage surges, lightning strikes, over-voltage events, and electrostatic discharges up to 25kV. It is suitable for automotive, industrial, and telecommunications applications that require a device with an operating temperature range from -65C to 150C. Furthermore, it can provide dependable over-voltage protection for circuits, with current peaks up to 70A.
