15KPA Series

The 15KPA series which would be from 15KPA17A to 15KPA280A,are designed as axial lead.
This 15KPA series have six features.The first one is that it would be 15,000 watts peak pulse power per line (tp=10/1000s).The second one is that 15KPA series would have unidirectional & bidirectional configurations.The third one is that it would have easy mounting to printed circuit board.The fourth one is that it would also be available in multiple voltage types ranging from 17V to 220V.The last one is that it would be RoHS compliant in lead-free versions.That are all the features.It also have some applications.The first one is that it could be used in relay drives.The second one is that it could be used in motor (Start/Stop) back EMF protection.The third one is that 15KPA series could also be used in module lightning protection.The last one is that it could be secondary lightning protection for AC/DC.
Some maximum ratings of the 15KPA series which tested @ 25°C unless otherwise specified that have been concluded into several points as follow.The first one is about its peak pulse power (tp =10/1000s) with the symbol of Ppp which would be 15000 watts.The second one is about the forward surge rating (1/20 seconds) of the 15KPA series with the symbol of IF which would be 200 Amps.The third one is about its steady state power dissipation with the symbol of Pd which would be 1.0 watts.The fourth one is about its storage temperature which would be from -55 to +150°C.The last one is about its operating temperature which would also be from -55 to +150°C.That are all the maximum ratings.
Also some mechanical characteristics about the 15KPA series.The first one is that it would be in molded case.The second one is that its weight would be 5 grams (Approximate).The third one is flammability rating would be UL 94V-0.The fourth one is that the 15KPA series is available in tin-Lead or lead-free pure-tin plating(Annealed).The fifth one is about solder reflow temperature which would be Tin-Lead - Sn/Pb, 85/15: 240-245°C and pure-Tin - Sn, 100: 260-270°C.The sixth one is about its marking that contains logo,part number & date code.The last one is that positive terminal marked with band - unidirectional only.
