K2300GRP

Overview

The Littelfuse K2300GRP is a high-voltage trigger diode belonging to the K2xx0yHU series, designed for circuit protection applications. It features a breakover voltage (VBO) range of 195 V and a maximum repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) of 200 V. The device supports a non-repetitive on-state current up to 20 A and maintains a holding current (Ih) maximum of 180 mA. Operating within a temperature range from -40°C to +125°C, it utilizes a DO-214AA surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-voltage triggering capability for sensitive electronic circuits
• Engineered with glass passivated chip junctions for reliability
• Designed to withstand transient voltage events and lightning-induced surges
• Compliant with halogen-free and RoHS standards for environmental safety

Applications

• Protection of sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients
• Circuit protection in industrial control systems
• Surge suppression in data ports and cable connectors
• Overvoltage protection for semiconductor components on PCBs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'GRP' against official Littelfuse documentation to confirm exact pinout, tolerance, and packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with surface-mount assembly processes and check for any specific moisture sensitivity level requirements before integration into production lines.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a breakover voltage near 195 V is required for high-voltage triggering applications. Consider the DO-214AA package size for space-constrained designs. Evaluate the 20 A non-repetitive current rating against expected surge magnitudes to ensure adequate protection margins for the target circuit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the broader category of high-voltage trigger diodes used for overvoltage protection. These devices operate by remaining in a high-impedance state until the applied voltage exceeds the breakover threshold, at which point they conduct to clamp the voltage. They are distinct from standard Zener diodes due to their higher voltage ratings and specific triggering characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other parts in the K2xx0yHU series or equivalent high-voltage trigger diodes from other manufacturers. Verify that substitute components match the 195 V breakover voltage, 200 V VDRM, and DO-214AA package dimensions to ensure functional interchangeability.
