About this manual

The 5KP series transient voltage suppressors from DC Components provide fast response and high peak pulse power for protecting circuits against voltage spikes. They are available in a range of breakdown voltages from 5.0 V to 180 V and can handle up to 5000 W peak pulse power on a 10/1000 µs waveform.

The devices feature a molded‑plastic case, UL‑94V‑0 flame‑retardant epoxy, and a lead length of 0.375 in (9.5 mm). Mechanical data include a weight of 2.1 g and bidirectional operation options indicated by suffixes such as “C” or “A”. Electrical characteristics such as peak forward surge current and maximum ratings are detailed in the datasheet tables.
