MAPLAD30KP400A

Introduction

MAPLAD30KP400A is an advanced TVS diode designed specifically for consumer, industrial and telecommunications applications requiring high level of protection against all forms of electrostatic discharge, electrical overstress and surge disturbances. This device offers superior ESD and surge protection with excellent performance, reliability, low leakage and cost savings advantages for designers.

Application Field of MAPLAD30KP400A

MAPLAD30KP400A application field includes consumer, industrial and telecommunication applications, such as surge protection for electronic equipment and special application boards, protection for general and RF circuits, transient protection for broadband networking, protection for PLCs, motor drives, and motion sensors. It also provides protection for automotive electronics, including body control systems, engine control modules, and other electronic components.

Working Principle

MAPLAD30KP400A is a solid-state monolithic device that uses a proprietary structure of ultra low capacitance, high-power semiconductor elements. Its two-element package provides protection from very high ESD pulses up to 30KV, and its four-element package provides protection from 50KV ESD pulses – allowing designers to use fewer components for cost savings.

The working principle of MAPLAD30KP400A is that, when an electrically charged device encounters a high ESD or surge transient, it quickly turns on and starts to conduct the high-energy current. As the electrical current is dissipated, the transistor quickly turns off and returns to its non-conducting state. This process of quick turn-on and then quick turn-off enables the MAPLAD30KP400A to provide maximum protection against ESD and surge transients.

Conclusion

MAPLAD30KP400A is an advanced TVS diode designed to offer superior ESD and surge protection to consumer, industrial and telecommunications applications. This device features a proprietary structure of ultra low capacitance, high-power semiconductor elements and two-element and four-element packages providing protection from ESD pulses up to 30KV and 50KV respectively. When encountering a high ESD or surge transient, MAPLAD30KP400A quickly turn-on and start to conduct the high-energy current before quickly turning off again. This make it an ideal choice for a variety of protection applications.
