Vishay 1-Element Uni-Directional TVS Diode 5 kW 2-Pin P600 5KP24A-E3

Vishay 5KP24A-E3 is a 1-Element Uni-Directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode designed for reliable protection of sensitive electronic and electrical equipment from transient voltage surges and spikes. With a peak pulse power dissipation of 5 kW and a 2-pin P600 package, this diode is ideal for through-hole mounting applications requiring compact form factor and high surge tolerance.

This diode features a minimum breakdown voltage of 26.7 V and a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 24 V, making it suitable for protecting circuits operating within these voltage limits. Its low leakage current of 2 microamperes ensures minimal power loss, while the fast response time and low incremental surge resistance contribute to its effectiveness in protecting against voltage transients.

Rated for an ambient operating temperature range from -55°C to 175°C, the Vishay 5KP24A-E3 TVS diode operates reliably in harsh environmental conditions, including automotive applications, supported by its AEC-Q101 qualification. The device withstands peak pulse currents up to 129 A and clamps voltage at a maximum of 38.9 V, preventing damage to downstream components.

The compact size of 9.1 mm in length, width, height, and diameter allows seamless integration into PCB designs where space is critical. Its robust construction with a glass passivated junction ensures durability and long service life. This device is part of the TRANSZORB TVS series from Vishay, known for excellence in transient voltage suppression.

Typical industrial and commercial applications include industrial automation, automotive electronics, telecommunication systems, power supplies, and consumer electronics where voltage spike protection is paramount. The diode is designed for through-hole mounting, facilitating assembly and serviceability.
