MAP4KE170AE3

MAP4KE170AE3 is a Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) Diode, which is a widely used electronic component when applied in an electronic circuit for the purpose of protection against surge current, over-voltage, and transient voltage events.

MAP4KE170AE3 is one of the fastest and most effective TVS Diodes available in the market. Its compact design and fast activation time ensure protection for sensitive electronic components against electrical over-voltage pulses, such as those from lightning strikes. This diode provides excellent protection against transient voltages up to 17 kV.

MAP4KE170AE3 is available in an impressive range of configurations, such as axial leaded, SMD SOT-23, ITO220F, and P6P160E. It offers a wide voltage of operating up to a peak rate of 17 kV. Additionally, the diode is capable of handling high surge current. Its high pulse current handling capability is one of its major advantages, making it a suitable choice for fast pulse applications.

The working principle of the MAP4KE170AE3 TVS Diode is simple. It consists of two p-n junction diodes that are connected in parallel, and a resistor that is connected in series. When the device is exposed to a transient voltage spike, the capacitance of the two p-n junctions creates an electric field, which pulls the current in one direction. This determines the direction the current flows, thus clamping the voltage. As soon as the voltage returns to a safe level, the current is allowed to pass through the diode in the normal direction.

The MAP4KE170AE3 is extensively utilized in the industrial and consumer electronics sectors, such as consumer electronics, automotive, communication, and industrial control. Its applications range from personal computing to other sensitive electrical equipment, such as those found in military and avionics. Due to its superior surge current protection capabilities and wide working voltage window, the MAP4KE170AE3 is an ideal choice for many devices.

MAP4KE170AE3 is an extremely useful TVS Diode that can provide superior protection against transient voltage spikes, over-voltage, and surge current.
