MAPLAD6.5KP64A

TVS - Diodes

Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes are an important form of voltage protection that absorb and dissipate excess energy when the voltage reaches a certain threshold. The MAPLAD6.5KP64A is one of many model TVS diodes, providing circuit protection against such overvoltage transients.

These transient voltage suppressor diodes are used in many types of electronic circuitry, such as power supplies, cellphones, computers, circuit boards, and many more. They work by suppressing voltage transients, which are sudden unexpected increases or decreases in voltage. By using them in different types of circuits, it ensures that overvoltage spikes do not cause damage to sensitive components. The MAPLAD6.5KP64A is specially made for low-voltage applications, such as logic-level circuits.

The MAPLAD6.5KP64A has a operating voltage range between 5.5 volts to 64 volts, and a peak pulse power dissipation capacity of 1000 watts. It also has a withstand voltage of 6.5 KV, and a breakdown voltage ranging from 50 volts to 530 volts. Due to its low operating voltage, it is suitable for use in low-voltage scenarios, such as logic-level circuits.

Working Principle

The working principle of the MAPLAD6.5KP64A is relatively simple. It works by dissipating the energy of voltage transients that exceed its breakdown voltage. The diode acts like a valve, opening only when the voltage reaches a certain level. When the voltage transient passes, the diode closes, stopping the flow of current. The diode is not damaged in the process as it only has to absorb and dissipate the energy.

The breakdown voltage of the MAPLAD6.5KP64A is adjustable, so it can be used to protect different types of circuits. For example, if the diode is set to a lower breakdown voltage, it can protect sensitive components such as chips and other integrated circuits. On the other hand, if the diode is set to a higher voltage, it can protect components that require higher levels of power, such as power supplies.

The MAPLAD6.5KP64A provides an ideal solution for protecting a wide range of circuits from over-voltage transients. With its adjustable breakdown voltage and peak pulse power dissipation capacity, it is capable of reliably suppressing voltage transients and protecting the components of an electronic circuit.
