TVS - Diodes

A Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diode, also known as a transient voltage surge suppressors, is a type of diode designed to protect electronic equipment against damage from overvoltage transients. They can provide protection from electrical discharges such as lightning or power line surges and can also protect against ESD (electrostatic discharge).

The MAP6KE160AE3 is a surface mounted diode which is widely used for over voltage protection in automotive, computer and telecom equipment. It is an Unidirectional type with a voltage clamping of 155V and a peak pulse current rating of 1.4KA. Additionally, the device includes an internal MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) which helps to absorb transient overvoltages.

Application Field

The MAP6KE160AE3 is designed to protect electronic devices from electrostatic discharge, lightning strikes, and power surges. It can be used in automotive, computer and telecom equipment either with or without a MOV. The MAP6KE160AE3 has a very fast response time, making it ideal for protecting devices that are vulnerable to transients.

The MAP6KE160AE3 is also designed for automotive applications. It can be used in devices such as car audio systems, vehicle navigation systems and other automotive electronics.

The MAP6KE160AE3 is also suitable for use in industrial applications, as it can provide protection against electrical surges and power fluctuations.

Working Principle

The MAP6KE160AE3 device works by clamping transient overvoltages to a voltage level below that which can damage connected equipment. This is done using the internal thyristor or MOSFET which opens up when the overload voltage exceeds the device’s breakover voltage. The device then clamps the overvoltage level to the clamping voltage of the diode.

The device also includes an internal MOV which helps to absorb transient overvoltages. When a lightning strike or an electrical surge occurs, the MOV absorbs the electrical energy and dissipates it to the ground or to any other connected devices such as a capacitor.

The MAP6KE160AE3 can be used in circuits with either AC or DC power. The diode can be used as a unidirectional protection device, or as a bidirectional protection device. In the unidirectional mode, the diode only allows current to flow in one direction. This protects from induced voltages from sources such as transformers and inductors, which can cause damage to connected devices. In the bidirectional mode, the diode can be used to protect from both positive and negative transients.

In summary, the MAP6KE160AE3 is designed to provide protection to devices against transient voltage, lightning strikes, and power surges. It is a surface mounted diode with a voltage clamping of 155V, a peak pulse current rating of 1.4KA, and an internal MOV to provide additional protection. It can be used in automotive, computer, and telecom equipment, as well as in industrial applications for protection against electrical surges and power fluctuations.
