Overview
The 5KP43A-TP is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co. This component is designed to protect electronic circuits from voltage spikes and transient events. It is a unidirectional TVS diode, meaning it protects against overvoltage in one direction. The 5KP43A-TP is particularly useful in applications requiring high peak pulse power handling and robust protection against electrical surges.
