The 5KP18A is a high-power Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by SMC DIODES. Supreme Components International is an authorised distributor of SMC DIODES components, ensuring you receive genuine and reliable parts. This unidirectional TVS diode is designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by lightning, inductive load switching, and electrostatic discharge (ESD). It features a peak pulse power dissipation of 5kW and a reverse standoff voltage of 18V with a tight tolerance of 5%. The 5KP18A comes in a DO-204AR (DO-15) package, making it easy to integrate into various circuit designs. Its robust construction and high surge capability make it suitable for demanding applications requiring reliable overvoltage protection.
