The 5KP series Transient Voltage Suppression Diode is designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients caused by lightning and other transient events. It is ideal for safeguarding I/O interfaces, VCC buses, and other vulnerable circuits. This component features a peak pulse power capability of 5000W (10x1000 µs waveform), a glass-passivated junction for reliability, excellent clamping capability, low incremental surge resistance, and a low duty cycle of 0.01%. It has a maximum IR of 12V, conforming to IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection and IEC 61000-4-4 EFT protection standards for data lines. The device is available in both unidirectional and bidirectional configurations and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 175°C.
