Littelfuse 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode 15 kW Peak Pulse Power 2-Pin P600 15KPA180CA

Littelfuse 15KPA180CA is a 1-element bi-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment against voltage transients such as those induced by lightning and electrostatic discharge. This diode offers a peak pulse power dissipation rating of 15 kW, packaged in a robust 2-pin P600 through-hole mount format, making it convenient for incorporation into various industrial and commercial electronic assemblies.

The device features a single diode configuration optimized for bi-directional protection, with a minimum breakdown voltage (Vbr) of 201.1 V and a maximum reverse stand-off voltage (Vwm) of 180 V. Its fast response time, typically less than 1.0 picoseconds, enables rapid suppression of transient voltages to protect delicate circuits. The maximum peak pulse current rating of 52.3 amperes allows the diode to absorb substantial surge energy.

The 15KPA180CA operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -55°C to 175°C and uses a glass passivated chip junction housed in a P600 package with dimensions of 9.1 mm diameter and length. It is halogen-free, promoting environmental safety, and the leads are matte tin lead-free plated with guaranteed high-temperature soldering endurance at 265°C for 10 seconds, ensuring stable and durable assembly on PCBs.

Typical applications include transient voltage suppression in industrial machinery, power supplies, telecommunications equipment, automotive systems requiring surge protection, and other sensitive electronic devices exposed to voltage surges and electrostatic discharge events.
