MAP6KE9.1CAE3

Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) diodes are components used for over-voltage protection and are designed to limit voltage fluctuations and protect electronic systems from the damaging effects of electrical transients. The MAP6KE9.1CAE3 is a unidirectional device that guards against destructive electrical transients and is commonly used for protecting data lines from accidental static discharge or transient voltages.

The MAP6KE9.1CAE3 is designed to protect circuits against voltage surges greater than 9.1V and is structurally made of two back-to-back Zener diodes connected in series. When an over-voltage event occurs, the Zener diode with the highest reverse breakdown voltage triggers first. This limits the total voltage experienced by the device and the secondary Zener diode prevents the remaining over-voltage from reaching the circuit.

The MAP6KE9.1CAE3 offers high working power and has very low capacitance, thus minimizing noise and signal distortion. It is particularly effective in protecting circuits against high energy surges such as during lightning strikes. It is also used to protect automotive ECUs against voltage transients. Additionally, the MAP6KE9.1CAE3 is widely used to protect communication and data lines in factories, industrial systems, and consumer electronic products.

The MAP6KE9.1CAE3 is a fast response device that can shunt current quickly to protect the system. It is also designed with low leakage current, low clamping voltage and low capacitance. Its construction using two back-to-back Zener diodes connected in series ensures it can handle large voltage spikes at lower cost compared with using only one device.

The MAP6KE9.1CAE3 has a low profile package size of 2.6mm by 2.5mm and can handle operating temperatures of -55°C to 125°C. It has a high surge capability greater than 18A and is compact and lightweight. It is an affordable and reliable solution to the problem of transient voltages.
