MAPLAD18KP7.0A

TVS - Diodes, or Transient Voltage Suppressor Diodes, are devices that serve as voltage suppressors to protect sensitive electronic devices from electrical lightning and other overvoltage events. The MAPLAD18KP7.0A is a TVS diode specifically designed for devices that require transient overvoltage protection, and is capable of providing protection up to 18kV. Its wide range of applications makes it one of the most frequently used devices in TVS diode technology.

The working principle behind the MAPLAD18KP7.0A is relatively straightforward. When there is an increase in voltage, the diode\'s electrons are stored in the bulk material due to the depletion layer formed near the diode\'s junction. This charges the diode\'s internal capacitance and the diode begins to act as a voltage clamp. This causes the diode to become more conductive when a voltage that exceeds its breakdown voltage level is applied. When the voltage eventually decreases, the MAPLAD18KP7.0A will then begin to act as a clamp again, helping to protect the connected device from further overvoltage conditions.

The MAPLAD18KP7.0A is most commonly used in applications where a high-powered device requires protection from damage caused by transient overvoltage conditions or electrical spikes. It can be used to protect electronics from damage due to static electricity, lightning, or electrical surges. It is especially useful in automotive applications, where the MAPLAD18KP7.0A helps to protect the vehicle\'s electronics from the dangers of operating in a volatile environment. Additionally, the device can be used in communication systems, power supplies, and medical equipment.

The MAPLAD18KP7.0A is a robust and reliable device that is designed to provide decades of reliable protection in a wide variety of applications. It features an ultra-low capacitance and is designed to protect devices from overvoltage conditions up to 18kV. It has a high temperature range from -55°C to +125°C, and its internal capacitance values are extremely low, making it ideal for applications that require a fast response time. Additionally, its compact size allows it to be used in space-restricted applications, making it a versatile and capable device.

Overall, the MAPLAD18KP7.0A is a reliable and robust TVS diode that is designed to provide high levels of protection to electronics devices from transient overvoltage conditions. It has a wide range of applications, including automobile applications, communication systems, power supplies, and medical equipment, and its low capacitance and high temperature operation make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications. As a result, the MAPLAD18KP7.0A is one of the most popular TVS diodes on the market today.
