MA5KP51CAE3

Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes, also known as surge suppressors, protect electronic components and circuits from voltage transients induced by lightning, electrostatic discharge, and electrical fast transients. The MA5KP51CAE3 TVS diode is designed to suppress voltage generated by a surge or electrostatic discharge from damaging electronic components.

Application Field

The MA5KP51CAE3 TVS diode is specially designed for applications such as computers, servers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), automotive, communication systems, consumer electronics, and automotive applications. It can prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other transient overvoltage to protect costly electronic components. The MA5KP51CAE3 can be used for applications such as EMI filters, power line and surge protection, inrush current protection, and automotive surge protection.

Working Principle

The MA5KP51CAE3 TVS diode works by clamping the transient overvoltages to a safe level. The MA5KP51CAE3 is designed with a breakdown voltage of 5.1V and a -55+20 mSec breakdown time. When the end of the surge or electrostatic discharge exceeds 5.1 volts, the diode will immediately conduct the excess current away from the protected circuits, thus preventing the transient overvoltage from damaging the sensitive components. The diode is specifically designed to allow the fast response of the TVS diode to minimize the duration and effects of the transient surge or charge.

Conclusion

The MA5KP51CAE3 TVS diode is an important component in protecting sensitive electronic components from voltage transients. Its design enables it to provide the most effective protection from ESD and other overvoltage transients. It is an ideal choice for various applications, especially for computers, servers, PDAs, automotive, communication systems, consumer electronics, and automotive applications.
