15KPA240CA Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 15KPA240CA is a bidirectional TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diode manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. It is designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by lightning and other transient events. The device offers a reverse standoff voltage of 240V and a clamping voltage of 384.6V at a peak pulse current of 39.3A. With a peak pulse power dissipation of 15kW (10/1000μs waveform), it provides robust protection for I/O interfaces, VCC bus, and other vulnerable circuits in telecom, computer, industrial, and consumer electronics.

 

The diode features a fast response time of less than 1.0ps from 0V to breakdown voltage. It is housed in a through-hole P600 axial package with matte tin (Sn) lead-free termination. The device is halogen free and has an operating temperature range of -55°C to 175°C. Steady state power dissipation is 8.0W at TL=75°C on an infinite heat sink. Thermal resistance from junction to lead is 8.0°C/W and junction to ambient is 40°C/W.

 

This component is not intended for power line protection but is suitable for general purpose transient suppression. It is RoHS compliant (unverified) and has MSL 1 (unlimited) classification. The 15KPA240CA is a reliable choice for circuit protection in through-hole designs.
