Littelfuse 5KP180CA Transient Voltage Suppression Diode
The Littelfuse 5KP series is a range of axial lead transient voltage suppression diodes specifically engineered to safeguard sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by lightning and other transient voltage events. These diodes offer a 5000W peak pulse power dissipation, ensuring robust protection. They are characterized by their low incremental surge capability, fast response time, and excellent clamping voltage capability. The 5KP series is ideal for applications in telecom, computer, industrial, and consumer electronics, protecting I/O interfaces, VCC bus, and other vulnerable circuits. The typical failure mode is short, and the devices are lead-free and RoHS compliant.
