P4KE100A-TP Circuit Protection

TVS - Diodes are semiconductor devices used to protect electronic circuits from overvoltage transients and electrical noise. The P4KE100A-TP is one of the most popular TVS diodes in the market. It has a low operating voltage range of 5V to 16V, and is commonly used in automotive, telecommunications, and consumer electronics industries.

The P4KE100A-TP application field includes automotive applications such as electronic fuel pumps, car stereos, and headlights; telecommunications technology such as switches and routers; and consumer electronics such as mobile phones, tablets, and computers. Its features also include high surge current capability, fast response time, and an increased working life.

The P4KE100A-TP is based on a avalanche breakdown fashion. Upon receiving a high voltage surge or overvoltage, its two series-connected diodes allow the current to flow in the reverse direction. This switch the signal voltage to ground, thereby providing electrical noise protection and suppressing the surge voltage. The fast-switching speed of this type of TVS diode (P4KE100A-TP) helps protect sensitive electronic components from damage.

In addition to providing surge protection, the P4KE100A-TP also has an over-voltage protection mechanism. This mechanism is a clamping device that clamps voltages higher than its breakdown voltage to a particular level when triggered. In such cases, the current flows in the forward direction until the voltage is reduced back to the safe level.

The P4KE100A-TP also features ESD protection and DC suppression capability. The ESD protection mechanism can protect static-sensitive electronic components from electrostatic discharges with a current rating of more than 200V. The DC suppression capability helps protect automotive circuits from short duration, high-voltage pulses.

In summary, the P4KE100A-TP TVS diode is widely applicable in the automotive, telecommunications, and consumer electronics industries. It is one of the most reliable, cost-effective, and efficient protective solutions available on the market. Its fast switching time, high surge current capability, ESD protection and DC suppression make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
