The MLCE160AE3 is a voltage-triggered and protected surface mount diode from the TVS - Diodes category. This diode is used to protect sensitive electronic equipment from electrical transients caused by voltage spikes. The device is designed for use in applications such as telecommunications, computer peripherals, automobile electronics, and consumer electronics.

The MLCE160AE3 is a high-reliability component designed to protect high-speed data transmission systems and other sensitive electronic equipment from overvoltage damage. The diode is also designed to provide low-capacitance ESD protection for applications that require a high degree of immunity to transient voltage.

The MLCE160AE3 has an ESD protection capability of up to 60V and is able to clamp voltage spikes to a safe level within a few nanoseconds. The diode also has a high operating temperature range, from -65°C to 150°C, allowing it to be used in even the harshest environments. The device has an on-state resistance of 5 Ohms and a maximum current rating of 1.5 Amps.

The MLCE160AE3 works on the principle of reverse breakdown. When an applied voltage exceeds a certain critical level, the diode is triggered and undergoes what is known as “avalanche breakdown”. This means that the diode quickly switches from a low to a very high resistance state, clamping the excessive voltage spike and protecting the underlying equipment.

The MLCE160AE3 is sold in the form of a SMD package and is easy to install. It is well-suited for use in a wide range of telecom, networking, automotive, and consumer electronics applications. The device is designed to offer reliable protection in an increasingly hostile world of ESD, EMI, and overvoltage transients.

In conclusion, the MLCE160AE3 is an excellent choice for a wide range of applications that require a reliable level of protection from voltage spikes. It has a wide operating temperature range and can withstand up to 60V of ESD protection. The device is easy to install, requires no external components and provides a low capacitance ESD protection that is needed for high-speed data transmission applications.
