This article will discuss and explore the MAPLAD18KP16A TVS – diode’s application field and working principle. The MAPLAD18KP16A is a Silicon Avalanche Diode (SAD) designed for use as a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS). As a component of transient voltage surge protection (TVSP), the MAPLAD18KP16A is designed to protect sensitive components from electrical overvoltage and overcurrent.A TVS-diode, also known as a Transient Voltage Suppression Diode, is an electronic component whose purpose is to protect electronic circuits from voltage and current spikes. TVS-diodes act as protective devices that clamp off high voltage electric surges. This prevents the surge from penetrating any sensitive equipment. TVS-diodes come in various configurations and surface-mount and through-hole mounting styles.The MAPLAD18KP16A from Littelfuse is an axial-lead-package diode that provides robust protection of 1000 watts of peak pulse power. It can be used in a variety of applications, such as power systems, electromechanical control systems, telecommunications, and industrial electronics.The MAPLAD18KP16A is designed to provide superior protection of sensitive components in a variety of applications. The diode provides excellent clamping performance and enhanced ESD protection. It has a low forward voltage drop and fast switching time. Its epoxy case ensures environmental resistance and its axial lead-style package allows for flexible, trouble-free installation.The primary working principle of the MAPLAD18KP16A is a simple one. This device works by absorbing an over-voltage or over-current through a diode. This diode is made up of two terminals: anode and cathode. The anode is the positive terminal, while the cathode is the negative terminal. An electric current is passed through the diode’s circuit and the current is blocked or diverted to ground if the current reaches a certain level. The MAPLAD18KP16A TVS-diode’s peak power dissipation ratings are by far its best-performing specs – able to withstand pulse power up to 1000 Watts (@ 8/20μs).What makes the MAPLAD18KP16A different from other TVS-diode products is its low reverse stand-off voltage (normal operating voltage). This device features a reverse stand-off voltage of 17.4 Volts, which is far lower than other TVS-diodes. This ultimately means that it can protect electronic equipment from voltage surges of much lower level and protect them in high-voltage surges.In summary, the MAPLAD18KP16A TVS-diode is an excellent choice for a variety of applications. It is designed to protect sensitive components from over-voltage and over-current and provides superior clamping performance and enhanced ESD protection. This device is available in various surface-mount and through-hole mounting styles, making it a versatile solution for many industries. The low reverse stand-off voltage of 17.4 Volts makes it suitable for protection even in high-voltage surges, which sets it apart from other TVS-diode products.
