MAPLAD18KP20AE3 is a TVS-diode with a 18 kV maximum surge rating, which was designed to protect from overvoltage damage on data/communication lines. It was specifically designed to meet the surge current requirements of multi-pair and coaxial cables in the wide range of industrial applications.A TVS-diode is an electro-mechanical device, which acts as a safeguard from overvoltage, transients, or voltage spikes. It acts as a type of voltage-controlled switch which is closed. When the voltage reaches a predetermined level, the device is triggered and it then switches to an open-circuit configuration in order to protect the system from any potential damages caused by transients.The basic working principle of the MAPLAD18KP20AE3 follows the same for all TVS-Diodes. In normal operating conditions, the device functions as a low voltage drop-out rectifier, and the resistance in the circuit is low. The main purpose of this TVS-diode is to limit the surge current while preventing any hot-spot heating, without causing any malfunction in the system.The device can be used for various applications including industrial equipment, automotive systems, power supplies, and telecommunications. In industrial equipment, it provides protection against potential surges caused by overloads, short circuits, or other high-voltage transients events. In power supplies, it is used to protect the sensitive components like printed circuit boards from overvoltage or any detrimental transient events. Similarly, in automotive systems it is used to protect other system components from the harmful effects of a transient or spike.The MAPLAD18KP20AE3 device also exhibits excellent clamping characteristics and fast response times, which enables it to provide surge current protection even when the surge current is injected at very high frequencies. Moreover, the device also has a non-polarized design, meaning that it can be connected in both directions without any voltage drop or losses.In conclusion, the MAPLAD18KP20AE3 is a TVS-diode with a 18 kV maximum surge rating specially designed to protect data/communication lines from potential overvoltage damages. This device exhibits excellent clamping characteristics and fast response times, which enables it to withstand even high frequency surge currents. Moreover, its non-polarized design ensures that it can be safely used in both directions without any losses or damage to the system. This makes it ideal for use in various industrial, telecommunications, power supply, and automotive related applications.
