MAPLAD15KP22AE3 is a transient voltage suppression diode offering protection for sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by external sources such as lightning, electrostatic discharge and inductive loads. This diode is classified in the TVS (transient voltage suppressor) category and it is offered in a conventional TO - 220 form with high surge capability, low thermal resistance and fast response time. It is protected against peaks up to 1.5A, 400W, 15KA.

The TVS diode works like a normal silicon diode, in that both forward and reverse biased connections are possible. However, the reverse bias characteristics are different—when the voltage across the diode exceeds the breakdown voltage, it “breaks down.” Unlike the avalanche diode which remains conducting when breakdown voltage is exceeded, the TVS diode conducts a large flow of current which can be many orders of magnitude greater than the diode’s avalanche current.

In forward biased operation, the MAPLAD15KP22AE3 behaves like any low forward voltage drop diode, with very low leakage current. This diode is particularly suitable for protection in switch mode power supplies, DC - DC converters and DC batteries.

In case of high energy transients such as electrostatic discharge, or ESD, the PN junction of the MAPLAD15KP22AE3 builds up a voltage and begins to break down. When the voltage across the diode exceeds the breakdown voltage (15KA) for a short period of time, it is able to conduct a large current which is directed to ground thus preventing the damage of sensitive electronic components that may be connected to the supply lines. The response time of this diode is very fast, in the order of nanoseconds, which ensures that it will quickly absorb the high-energy transients that may be present in the circuits.

The MAPLAD15KP22AE3 is built to handle peak currents up to 1.5A, 400W, 15KA and also has high thermal dissipation ability, meaning it is able to dissipate the heat generated when dissipating these high current transients. Its low thermal resistance also means that it won\'t need a large amount of board space when being mounted in an electronic circuit. The diode is also available in a variety of packages ranging from SMA to DO-214AA.

The MAPLAD15KP22AE3 is a reliable and cost-effective solution for protecting sensitive electronic equipment from high-energy transients caused by external sources or short lived events. Its fast response time and low thermal resistance make it ideal for applications in switch mode power supplies, DC - DC converters and other systems where protection from voltage transients is necessary.
