Applications

The MAPLAD36KP40CA has a wide range of application fields, including telecommunications, computer and consumer electronics, automotive, avionics, and medical devices. The diode is designed for use in transient voltage suppression applications and can handle electrical surges in the range of 400W to 600W. It has a miniature case design that makes it both easy to install and efficient in terms of performance.

The MAPLAD36KP40CA is designed for two-terminal applications and can be used for both AC and DC applications. It has a low on-resistance of less than 0.05 ohms and an impressively low power consumption compared to other products on the market. It has an operating temperature range of -50°C to +125°C and a storage temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. The diode also has a wide voltage range of 1.0V to 36.0V.

Working principle

The MAPLAD36KP40CA is based on avalanche diode technology, which is a voltage suppression method that uses two PN junctions connected in series and triggered by the avalanche breakdown of a reverse-biased PN junction.

The MAPLAD36KP40CA is an unidirectional diode, meaning that it only allows current to flow in one direction. When a surge in excess of its absolute maximum rating is applied, it is designed to limit the voltage across it. Specifically, the MAPLAD36KP40CA is designed to clamp the voltage at a safe level that won’t cause any damage to the electronic equipment or the user.

The MAPLAD36KP40CA is also designed with dynamic surge current handling capabilities. This allows it to absorb and divert high peak currents, thus protecting the components from damage.

Conclusion

The MAPLAD36KP40CA is a special type of TVS diode with a wide range of application fields and a specific working principle. It is designed for use in two-terminal applications and can handle both AC and DC applications. The diode is capable of clamping the voltage at a safe level and has dynamic surge current handling capabilities.
