The device features 1600W peak pulse power capability per line with low line to line capacitance of 5.6pF. It is a unidirectional diode capable of handling a wide range of voltages from 5V to 160V. The MP4KE160AE3 is ideal for use in electronic equipment and are suitable for protection against lightning surges.

Applications

The MP4KE160AE3 is widely used for protecting devices from transients, spikes, surges, and other electrical disturbances that can cause disruption and damage to equipment. It is suitable for applications such as:

• Electric power control systems
• Communication systems
• Computers and peripherals
• Consumer electronics
• Medical electronics
• Automotive electronics

Working Principle

The MP4KE160AE3 operates by clamping transient voltages to a predetermined level. When a voltage spike occurs, the diode is connected in parallel with the device being protected, which allows the transient voltage to be diverted to the diode. The diode can handle large transient spikes and it can be designed to have a breakdown voltage of up to 160V. When the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, the diode starts to conduct current and protect the device from the spike. The TVS diode also has a fast response time, which allows it to protect sensitive electronic components from damaging transients.

The MP4KE160AE3 is a unidirectional diode, which means that it can only conduct current in one direction. This prevents the diode from being damaged by high current or power transients. The diode includes a built-in temperature compensation feature which helps reduce false triggering due to thermal expansion. The diode is also designed to withstand high power transients and has a low capacitance of 5.6pF.

The MP4KE160AE3 is designed to offer robust protection against transient voltage spikes and surges. It is suitable for a wide range of applications and can handle up to 1600W of peak power per line. The device is also highly reliable and can provide dependable protection against transient voltage surges.
