MA1.5KE36A

The MA1.5KE36A is a popular TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic components from damage caused by electrostatic discharge or other high-voltage transients. It is widely used in automotive, consumer electronics, telecom and industrial applications.

The MA1.5KE36A has an operating voltage of 36V and an avalanche breakdown voltage of 41V. It features fast response time, low capacitance, and high ESD (electrostatic discharge) rating. Its maximum reverse stand-off (working) voltage is 1.5kV.

The MA1.5KE36A diode works by clamping any voltage above its maximum breakdown voltage. It has a typical clamping voltage of 11.3V and a breakdown voltage rating of CL = 15V (1kV/s), meaning it can detect an ESD strike at a 15V voltage level and clamp it to 11.3V. This ensures that any voltage plays above the device\'s maximum operational voltage (36V) is diverted away from the protected component, thus preventing damage.

The MA1.5KE36A diode is highly versatile and has a wide range of application areas such as mobile phones, notebook computers, TVs and remote control devices. It is also suitable for use in high-voltage distribution systems as well as in power supply protectors and surge protectors. Additionally, MA1.5KE36A can be used in combustible gas detectors, medical equipment, and laser controllers.

The MA1.5KE36A device also offers excellent thermal and ESD protection for industrial and military environments. These include communications, military, and aerospace, as well as automotive and avionics applications, just to name a few. With its reliable protection, the MA1.5KE36A ensures that your sensitive electronic components remain safe from transients.

In summary, the MA1.5KE36A is a high-performance, reliable and versatile TVS diode designed to protect sensitive electronic components from transient voltage spikes and electrostatic discharges. It operates by clamping any voltage above its maximum breakdown voltage, ensuring the protected component’s safety. With its wide range of application areas, the MA1.5KE36A offers excellent thermal and ESD protection for industrial and military environments.
