MAPLAD30KP120CA

TVS - Diodes

Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes are employed to protect sensitive electronic components and systems from transient high voltage pulses, and have become a commonly used form of overvoltage protection. The MAPLAD30KP120CA is a TVS diode that is widely used in applications such as data communication, renewable energy systems, power supplies, automotive electronics and consumer electronics.

Applications of the MAPLAD30KP120CA

The MAPLAD30KP120CA is a fast acting TVS diode designed to protect against voltage surges such as electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electrical fast transients (EFT). It is capable of handling high peak current levels and has a peak power rating of 30KW, making it an ideal choice for high voltage, high current applications. This diode is used in ESD protection, power management, data communication, automotive electronics and consumer electronics.

The MAPLAD30KP120CA is also suitable for electric appliances and electronic components with high ESD and EFT tolerances. It can protect data lines, audio/video outputs, ports, cables, USB and HDMI ports, as well as AC/DC power and signal lines. It can also be used for protection of any device or circuit that is sensitive to high voltages.

Working Principle of the MAPLAD30KP120CA

The MAPLAD30KP120CA works by clamping the voltage fluctuations that would otherwise damage the sensitive electronic components on which the TVS diode is mounted. The MAPLAD30KP120CA can be wired either in series or parallel to function effectively. When connected in series, it clamps the voltage and allows current to flow through it, while when connected in parallel it diverts the current around the circuit.

In either configuration, the MAPLAD30KP120CA will first clamp a high voltage pulse to a safe level before passing the current through the circuit. This protects the sensitive components from being permanently damaged by the high voltage pulse. The MAPLAD30KP120CA is capable of handling high peak current levels and can protect the circuit from high voltage pulses from 1500W to 6500W.

Benefits of the MAPLAD30KP120CA

The biggest benefit of the MAPLAD30KP120CA is the high level of protection it provides against voltage transients and surges. It is a fast acting, robust diode capable of handling high peak current levels which makes it ideal for high voltage, high current applications. It is also capable of providing ESD protection, EFT protection and other protection profiles for data communication, automotive electronics and consumer electronics.

The MAPLAD30KP120CA is also very cost effective, providing an affordable solution for protecting sensitive electronic circuits from high voltage transients. It is also very reliable and is available in a variety of packages, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of applications and systems.
