Product details

220 V standoff, 5 kW peak pulse — what that suppression window means

The 5KP220CA-HR: The 220 V reverse standoff is the continuous working voltage the protected rail can hold without the TVS conducting — in a 220 V nominal system that gives a few volts of margin before the device begins clamping. The 244 V minimum breakdown is where the Zener avalanche kicks in, and at 13.7 A peak pulse the clamping voltage tops out at 371.1 V. That 151 V overhead from standoff to clamping is the headroom the upstream switch or semiconductor must survive during the transient event. For a circuit running at 220 V line-neutral, this rating spread is the right-sized fit without needing to spec a higher standoff part that would cost more and clamp higher.

Power Line Protection is listed as No — this is a board-level TVS, not a service-entrance or distribution-panel surge protective device. It protects a single rail or signal line at the PCB level, not the AC line feed.

Axial P600 package and through-hole mounting

Tape & Reel packaging is listed, which is standard for high-volume assembly. Confirm the reel count per your pick-and-place feeder width and whether your contract manufacturer expects a specific orientation or polarity band on the leads — axial Zener polarity markings can be subtle on the body print.

Frequently asked questions

What Littelfuse series does the 5KP220CA-HR belong to?

It is part of the 5KP-HR (High Reliability) series — the HR suffix denotes the enhanced screening and lot acceptance testing grade within the Littelfuse 5KP family.

What is the 5KP220CA-HR used for?

It is rated for general-purpose use and is not classified as a power-line protection device at the system level.
