A5KP24CA-G

TVS diodes offer protection from intrinsic electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electrical fast transients (EFT) in areas where static electricity, electrical transients and transient voltages are a concern. They protect electronic circuits in a variety of applications, such as computers, telecommunications, consumer electronics, automotive and industrial electronics. The A5KP24CA-G TVS diode is one of the most popular devices in this family and offers reliable protection against overvoltage transients.

The A5KP24CA-G is a unidirectional series of four-pin (dual-channel) diode arrays designed to protect equipment from voltage transients (impulse) induced by Lightning, ESD, EFT or other transients. It has two channels providing bidirectional protection with common lead. It also features ultra-low capacitance, low leakage current, and high ESD protection voltage. The A5KP24CA-G is typically used in a variety of applications such as: video and serial data interfaces (USB, HDMI, SATA, etc.), laptop ports, cellular phones/microphones, I/O circuits, power lines, and Ethernet interfaces.

The A5KP24CA-G works by absorbing transient voltage. When the voltage surges above a certain level, the diode conducts and dissipates the transient energy. It has a Peak Pulse Power (Ppp) rating of 5kW (10/1000 μs) and a Clamping voltage (Vc) rating of 24V. The operating voltage range of the A5KP24CA-G is -30V to 24V, while the reverse leakage current is between 375pA to 500pA. Its capacitance is extremely low at 0.45pF. This fast response time helps protect sensitive circuits from electromagnetic interference (EMI).

It is also important to note the operating temperature range of the A5KP24CA-G when installing it into an application. It has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and has a storage temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. It is in compliance with the RoHS directive and has an MSL level of 3.

Overall, the A5KP24CA-G is a reliable and cost-effective way to provide circuit protection from ESD and EFT, as well as to reduce EMI. It offers excellent protection with a low leakage current and wide operating voltage. It is also available in a variety of packages, making it versatile enough for most applications.
