TP1.5KE43CA

TVS - Diodes are a type of semiconductor device used to protect electronics from damage due to overvoltage transients, such as surges and spikes. One of the more widely used TVS- Diode components is the TP1.5KE43CA. This device is suitable for a variety of applications, such as telecommunications, industrial motor control, automotive, and home audio/video equipment. As well as providing protection from transient overvoltage conditions, the TP1.5KE43CA also has some unique features and benefits that make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.

The TP1.5KE43CA consists of a pair of back-to-back silicon avalanche diodes. It is designed to absorb high surge current and to ensure minimal current flow under normal operating conditions. The device works by providing a low impedance path for transient overvoltage conditions, while limiting the current flow to safe levels. When the desired current levels are exceeded, the system is protected from damage due to the moderating effect of the TVS- Diode.

One of the major benefits of using the TP1.5KE43CA is its ability to protect connected components from damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD). The device is rated to handle ESD energy pulses of up to 15 kV without damage or malfunction. This makes it ideal for applications where sudden static spikes could cause serious damage to sensitive electronics.

The device is also suitable for data line applications, as it offers partial protection for high-speed connections, such as Ethernet, USB, and others. The TVS- Diode can help prevent data loss due to sudden surges or other high-voltage events, and it can also reduce the interference caused by Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Its relatively low clamping voltage of 11.25V also ensures that the data signal is not compromised.

In addition to its fast response time and low clamping voltage, the TP1.5KE43CA also has a high surge capacity. It can handle peak pulse current up to 33 A, which is suitable for a wide range of applications. It is also available in various packages, so it can be integrated into existing, as well as new design layouts.

Overall, the TP1.5KE43CA is a very versatile device that is well suited for a variety of applications. It provides excellent protection from overvoltage transients, as well as protection from ESD, EMI, and other high-voltage events. Its fast response time, low clamping voltage, and high surge capacity make it an ideal choice for a range of data line applications, including Ethernet, USB, and others.
