15KPA40CA Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 15KPA40CA is a bidirectional Zener-type TVS diode from Littelfuse's 15KPA series, designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients caused by lightning and other surge events. It features a reverse standoff voltage of 40V and a clamping voltage of 65.8V at a peak pulse current of 229.5A.

 

The device delivers 15kW peak pulse power (10/1000μs waveform) and has a steady state power dissipation of 8.0W. It is housed in an axial-leaded P600 through-hole package and operates over a junction temperature range of -55°C to 175°C. The part is lead-free (matte tin plating), halogen-free, and RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited).

 

Typical applications include general purpose transient voltage suppression for I/O interfaces, VCC buses, telecom, computer, industrial, and consumer electronics. The diode offers fast response time (typically less than 1.0ps from 0V to breakdown voltage) and low incremental surge resistance.
