M15KP100CAE3

TVS - Diodes, used for ESD protection, is rapidly gaining popularity in military and commercial applications in aerospace, computer, consumer electronics and communications. M15KP100CAE3 is a transient voltage surge suppression diode, manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. This diode is designed specifically to protect electrical and electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by lightning and other transient voltage events.

M15KP100CAE3 can be used in all kinds of applications, including automotive, industrial, consumer, communication and medical. This diode is capable of protecting equipment from both ESD protection and lightning-induced transients. It is also able to offer excellent protection against noise generated by electrostatic discharges (ESD) and static electricity.

In terms of its working principle, M15KP100CAE3 is capable of quickly clamping voltage transients by utilizing its low clamping voltage, allowing it to protect voltage sensitive components in sensitive circuits. When the voltage exceeds the peak clamping voltage, the diode supplies a low impedance path for the current to flow, preventing any damage to the circuit. The diode is also capable of automatically resetting after the transient event is eliminated.

The diode’s fast response time ensures that transients are quickly clamped without significantly damaging the protected circuits. The diode is able to respond both to positive and negative voltage transients. Furthermore, its low leakage current helps to further reduce the current to the circuit.

M15KP100CAE3 is also able to provide effective ESD protection. With a low capacitance value and a peak discharge current of over 50A, the diode can effectively protect against ESD as well as other electrical transients. The diode is also capable of providing excellent EMI/RFI noise absorption, helping to keep a low noise floor of the circuit.

The device is also designed for safety compliance and comes with CE Mark. The diode operates over a wide temperature range from -55°C to 150°C to offer increased flexibility in the application. In order to make mounting easier and to ensure better thermal performance, the device is also available in mid-temperature range packages.

In summary, M15KP100CAE3 is an excellent choice for ESD protection. It is able to offer fast response time, low leakage current, good EMI/RFI noise absorption and wide operating temperature range. With excellent clamping performance, it is an ideal choice for all types of applications.
