• Breakdown Voltage: 85.5V to 94.5V
• Clamping Voltage: 137V at 50A
• Package: DO-201AD
• Quantity Options: Available in reels, tubes, or bulk packaging

Detailed Pin Configuration

The 15KPA100CA-HR features a standard DO-201AD package with two leads. The anode is connected to the positive terminal, while the cathode is connected to the negative terminal.

Functional Features

• Transient Voltage Suppression: Effectively clamps transient voltages to protect downstream components.
• Fast Response Time: Rapid reaction to transient events ensures minimal impact on the protected circuitry.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages: - High surge capability - Low clamping voltage - Fast response time

Disadvantages: - Higher cost compared to traditional diodes - Requires careful consideration of reverse standoff voltage

Working Principles

When a transient voltage event occurs, the 15KPA100CA-HR conducts current to divert the excess energy away from the protected circuit. This action limits the voltage across the load and prevents damage to sensitive components.
