TVS - Diodes, commonly referred to as transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes, are specialized diodes that limit voltage spikes on a conductor. They are used to protect sensitive electronic components from damage due to sudden and large voltage spikes. A5KP26A-G is one such TVS - Diode.

The A5KP26A-G is made up of 6 pins. It belongs to the bi-directional SMA TVS diode series and is designed to replace single-directional SMA diodes. The A5KP26A-G is configured in a unidirectional way with an ESD air gap protection. It features a maximum peak pulse power of 5500W (10/1000µs) and a breakdown voltage of 28.2V. It is UL certified and has an adjacent pin spacing of 200 mil. It has an operating temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and is designed for a soldering profile of 245 to 400°C for 10 to 15 seconds.

The primary purpose of the A5KP26A-G is to limit the voltage on a conductor during an unexpected surge or spike. Transient Voltage Suppression Diodes provide a low capacitance solution for ESD protection and can handle high frequencies, providing protection from high frequency noise. Because of their low capacitance, TVS diodes can unidirectionally protect sensitive electronic components from damage.

A5KP26A-G is the most suitable for providing protection on telecom/network Ethernet interfaces as it can endure high AC surge stresses. It ensures that any sudden surge in voltage on a conductor is limited, and that any sudden spike is blocked. It further ensures that the performance of any connected system is not compromised by large voltage spikes.

The working principle of the A5KP26A-G is quite simple. It contains a number of diodes that are connected in a reverse-biased orientation in order to create a reverse voltage blocking function. When a voltage spike or surge occurs, the diodes are reversed biased and act to limit the voltage between the protected and the unprotected points. The diodes absorb the excess energy and convert it into heat. This prevents any damage to the components that are connected to the system.

Apart from providing protection from current and voltage spikes, the A5KP26A-G is also suitable for lightning surge protection. It has a peak pulse current capability of 12A (8/20us) which makes it suitable for providing protection against most lightning and surges encountered in outdoor applications.

In summary, the A5KP26A-G is a TVS diode which is designed for ESD air gap protection and provides protection from voltage spikes, current spikes, and lightning surges. It has a peak pulse power of 5500W (10/1000µs) and a breakdown voltage of 28.2V, which makes it suitable for most applications. Its low capacitance ensures that it provides very effective protection from high frequency noise.
