3KP12A Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 3KP12A is a 3000W transient voltage suppression diode from the Littelfuse 3KP series. It features a reverse standoff voltage of 12V and a clamping voltage of 19.9V, providing robust protection against voltage transients induced by lightning and other transient events. With a peak pulse current rating of 150.8A (10/1000μs waveform), it absorbs high energy surges reliably.

 

This unidirectional device offers an ultra-fast response time of less than 1.0ps from 0V to breakdown voltage. It is rated for ESD protection up to 30kV (air and contact discharge) per IEC 61000-4-2, and operates across a junction temperature range of -55°C to 175°C.

 

The 3KP12A is housed in a P600 axial through-hole package, suitable for general-purpose circuit protection applications including I/O interfaces, VCC bus, and other vulnerable circuits in telecom, computer, industrial, and consumer electronic designs. It is RoHS3 compliant, halogen free, and lead free (Pb-free E3).
