TVS (transient voltage suppression) diodes, also referred to as surge-suppressors, are devices used to protect sensitive electronic components from outside transient voltages, such as lightning strikes, and power supply spikes. The 5KP8.0C-B is a type of TVS diode used to protect one-line systems from low to high voltage transients.

This diode is bidirectional, meaning it can protect circuits from positive or negative surges. It has a low operating voltage between -5 and +400 volts and a high operating voltage between -600 and +18 volts. The device has an operating temperature range of -55 to +150 degrees Celsius. The P breakdown voltage is 8V at +25 degrees Celsius, with a maximum reverse voltage of 6V. The maximum power dissipation is up to 1.4W.

The 5KP8.0C-B is designed to be used in one-line surge protection circuits, to protect the appliances from transient surges that can be generated from lightning strikes, power supply spikes, and other sources. It is typically used in high-frequency circuits, such as those found in home appliances, consumer electronics, communications equipment, and aircraft.

The 5KP8.0C-B works by redirecting the transient surge current flow away from sensitive components in the circuit. When the diode senses a voltage surge, it conducts in the forward direction, which redirects the transient current into the diode instead of flowing through the circuit. The diode can then dissipate this excess energy, protecting the components in the circuit from being damaged by the transient voltage.

While the 5KP8.0C-B is designed for both positive and negative transient voltages, it is important to note that the diode will only be effective in protecting components from low to mid-level surges. It is not suitable for extremely high voltage surges without the use of an additional protection circuit. Furthermore, it should not be used to protect circuits that require a high level of protection, such as automotive and medical devices.

In summary, the 5KP8.0C-B is a type of TVS diode designed to protect one-line surge protection circuits from low to high voltage transients. It is a bidirectional device, with a low operating voltage between -5 and +400 volts and a high operating voltage between -600 and +18 volts. Its maximum power dissipation is up to 1.4W. The diode works by redirecting the transient surge current away from sensitive components in the circuit, dissipating the excess energy and protecting the components from damage. However, it should not be used to protect circuits that require a high level of protection.
