MAP4KE51CA

The MAP4KE51CA is a transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode, intended for ESD (electrostatic discharge) and surge protection. The device is designed to protect sensitive components in computers, consumer electronics, industrial electronics, and telecommunications systems from large over-voltage transients caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), cabling accidents, and power cross line disturbances, etc.

The device features an ultra low capacitance of 0.58pF which means that it does not degrade signal transmission quality. It features up to 5A current carrying capability at ESD strikes below the rated voltage, and breakdown voltages of 5.5, 7.0, 8.5 and 12V. The devices also feature a low clamping voltage and a low leakage current of less than 0.03mA.

The MAP4KE51CA employs the Constant Voltage Suppression (CVS) principle which ensures a precise, symmetric and fast clamping voltage response to over-voltage transients. This makes it ideal for protecting electronic systems that need to respond quickly to over-voltage, such as those used in automotive and industrial applications. In addition, the device has a reverse stand-off voltage of 5V which helps to protect the circuit against reverse over-voltage.

The device features an industry standard SMD package which enables it to be used in tight spaces, such as computer motherboards and data cards. It is designed to be used in a wide range of temperature and humidity ranges, making it suitable for a variety of applications. In addition, the device is UL recognised, RoHS compliant, and has an unbeatable price.

In summary, the MAP4KE51CA is a high performance, low cost TVS diode designed to protect a variety of electronic components from over-voltage transients. Its low capacitance makes it an ideal choice for systems requiring high data transmission speeds, and its low clamping voltage and reverse stand-off voltage provide optimum over-voltage protection. The device is UL recognised, RoHS compliant, and has an unbeatable price, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
