TVS - Diodes

A TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diode is an electronic device designed to provide protection against transient overvoltage events such as electrostatic discharge, electrical transients and electrical overstress. It is typically used to protect sensitive electronic equipment from transient voltage surges caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other similar events. TVS diodes are the most commonly used devices for transient voltage protection.

MP4KE13AE3 Application Field and Working Principle

The MP4KE13AE3 TVS diode is a 12V, 600W unidirectional diode designed to protect against high voltage transients. It is suitable for use in a wide variety of applications including power supplies, bus networks, data ports, embedded control systems, audio and video systems, automotive systems and anything else requiring transient overvoltage protection. The MP4KE13AE3 diode has a clamping voltage of 19V, and a peak power rating of 600W.

The MP4KE13AE3 diode works by clamping or limiting the voltage at a predetermined level. When the voltage exceeds the predetermined threshold, the diode begins to conduct and reduces the voltage to manageable levels. This helps to protect sensitive electronics from potentially damaging voltages and transients which could cause long-term damage.

The MP4KE13AE3 diode is designed to provide fast-response protection for high voltage transients. The device is rated for 1000W peak pulse power and its clamping voltage is about 15V. The diode also features low leakage current, low capacitance, and excellent thermal and mechanical stability.

In addition to its primary use in high voltage transient protection, the MP4KE13AE3 diode can also be used in applications such as protection of sensitive data lines in embedded systems, protection against ESD, and protection against voltage spikes in power supplies.

In summary, the MP4KE13AE3 TVS diode is a 12V, 600W unidirectional diode designed to provide fast-response protection for high voltage transients. It can be used in a wide range of applications, such as power supplies, bus networks, data ports, embedded control systems, audio and video systems, automotive systems and more. It features low leakage current, low capacitance, and excellent thermal and mechanical stability.
