The 15KPA17CA is a bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by FORMOSA MICROSEMI. Supreme Components International is an authorised distributor of FORMOSA MICROSEMI components. This TVS diode is designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from voltage transients induced by lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and inductive load switching. It features a standoff voltage of 17V and a breakdown voltage of 24.5V, with a high peak pulse power dissipation of 15000W. The 15KPA17CA offers fast response times and low clamping voltage, ensuring effective protection for a wide range of applications. It is available in a DO-201 package for easy mounting and integration into existing designs. This robust TVS diode is ideal for use in power supplies, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, and other applications requiring reliable overvoltage protection.
