MASMBJ70A

The MASMBJ70A is a surface mount unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor diode which is designed to provide protection against high energy pulses of up to 70 Volts. This component is used to protect components and circuits from high-voltage, high-current pulses. The MASMBJ70A, specifically, is a dual line SMD type TVS with a peak voltage rating of 70V.

The MASMBJ70A is housed in small, lightweight packages which make them ideal for space-constrained applications. They also have low capacitance and low reverse leakage current which contributes to their overall reliability. The MASMBJ70A can be used in applications where there is a need to protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD), high surge requirements, or where a voltage clamp is needed. It is also designed to be able to suppress transient or sustained overvoltage.

Applications of the MASMBJ70A

The MASMBJ70A can be found in a wide range of applications including automotive, data storage systems, mobile phones, consumer electronics, and medical devices. The application of the MASMBJ70A can be as simple as protecting a circuit from lightning strikes or power surges, protecting against ESD, or protecting against transients. It is also capable of clamping transient or sustained overvoltage.

It can be used in applications where high-power switching devices, such as diodes and transistors, are employed. It is also capable of providing power-conditioning in applications where RF signals are present and protecting against over voltage in low power electronic components. Additionally, the MASMBJ70A offers high surge current capabilities and high surge capability with low reverse-leakage current.

Working Principle of the MASMBJ70A

The MASMBJ70A works by allowing a moderate amount of current to pass through it until it reaches its peak rating, at which point it will clamp to the peak rating and limit the current flow. Excessive current flow will cause the voltage to be clamped and the current will be limited. This helps to protect the circuit or component from the damaging current. It is also designed to reduce radiated noise and to reduce peak power and surge power levels.

The MASMBJ70A is designed to be able to handle extremely high energy pulses thanks to its dual line design which is capable of self-adjusting the clamp voltage based on the current and voltage levels in the circuit. This helps to ensure reliable operation and protection from high-voltage transients or surges. Additionally, it is designed to be able to handle high-frequency pulses which make it an excellent choice for applications where ESD performance is critical.

The MASMBJ70A is a convenient and cost-effective solution for applications which are subject to overvoltage, transients, and surges. Its small footprint, low capacitance, and low-reverse leakage current make it an excellent choice for any application that requires protection from high surges or transients. The added benefit of reliable high-frequency performance makes it a great choice for ESD protection.
