TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diodes are widely used in many areas and applications. They are designed to protect various electrical components, such as circuit boards, relays, connectors, and even entire systems, from damaging static or transient impulses of high voltage. Among the many TVS diodes available nowadays, the MXUPT17 can safely be considered to be the most widely used.

The MXUPT17 TVS diode is a simple bipolar device, with an average 5 pF of capacitance, a 5.1 Volt (V) breakdown voltage (BV) and a peak pulse energy of 600 Watts (W). The diode is designed for use with both AC and DC voltage sources, as well as for transient overvoltage protection. It is available in both axial and radial packages, with a wide range of power ratings.

The MXUPT17 protects circuits from transient overvoltages by connecting itself between two nodes, one of which is the power source. During normal operation, the diode is low impedance, and thus does not impede signal flow. However, when high voltage or fast transient impulses appear at one of the two nodes, the diode will respond by automatically clamping the voltage below the breakdown voltage. This protects the device, as well as other components connected to it, from being damaged.

The MXUPT17 is best suited for applications in which high speed response and oscillatory protection is required. Oscillations can often appear in circuits during surge events such as lightning strikes. The diode’s low capacitance allows it to quickly clamp the voltage and provides greater protection from transient overvoltages. Another advantage of the MXUPT17 is its low leakage current, which helps to maintain a low temperature of operation. This allows the device to be used in high temperature applications without the risk of being damaged or permanently damaged.

The MXUPT17 is a very reliable and robust device, making it a popular choice for applications in the automotive, consumer, and industrial sectors. It has a high triggering sensitivity and a low turn-on voltage, making it suitable for use in a wide range of voltages. In addition, the diode is very durable, making it a good choice for applications that require frequent shock and vibration protection.

Overall, the MXUPT17 TVS diode is a versatile and reliable device. It is capable of providing protection from transient overvoltages, as well as dissipating power and providing oscillatory protection. Its wide range of power ratings and packages make it suitable for use in a variety of applications. Its low capacitance ensures a fast response time, making it a popular choice for circuit protection in both AC and DC power sources.
