MAPLAD18KP13CA

TVS – Diode devices can be widely used in many applications, such as automotive electronics, telecommunications and computers. MAPLAD18KP13CA is a TVS – Diode device that offers enhanced durability and reliability, as well as low cost. It is highly suitable for use in consumer electronic products.

The MAPLAD18KP13CA comprises of a pair of silicon diodes in series with each other, as well as a capacitor and a resistor. This device offers the best performance available in the market when it comes to electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.

The working principle of the MAPLAD18KP13CA is based on the diode’s capability to divert excessive current away from the sensitive circuit in the event of an overvoltage event or a surge current. When there is an overvoltage event, the current will be diverted through the silicon diodes and the capacitor is used to store the charge. The resistor is used to limit the peak voltage that the device can experience. The MAPLAD18KP13CA is able to operate up to 135 volts with a surge of 1 kV.

The MAPLAD18KP13CA is used in applications where transient voltage protection is required, such as in data communication systems, Industrial control systems, electronic appliances, and even in many automotive applications. It can be applied to provide protection for circuits connected to high voltage power lines, and also to protect components from voltage spikes.

The device has the highest breakdown voltage for a surface mount diode. The MAPLAD18KP13CA also features a very low leakage current, which makes it ideal for consumer electronics applications such as cellular phones, tablets, and laptop computers. It has an excellent temperature coefficient, making it highly efficient at dissipating the heat generated by the device during operation.

The MAPLAD18KP13CA is a very reliable device and is easy to use with minimum noise. It offers excellent transient protection features, and its peak power rating makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. With its low cost, it is the perfect choice for many projects.
