5KP30A

The 5KP30A is an axial-leaded Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode with lead-free matte tin-plated terminal. The transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode is a protection diode designed to protect electronic circuits against transients and overvoltage threats such as EFT (electrically fast transients) and ESD (electro-static discharge). The TVS diode is silicon avalanche devices typically chosen for their fast response time (low clamping voltage), lower capacitance and low leakage current. The TVS diode is available in unidirectional (uni-polar) diode circuit configuration. The 5KP series is designed specifically to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by lightning and other transient voltage events.
