MP4KE27CA

TVS – Diodes are widely used in many industrial applications from low voltage to medium voltage, both in AC and DC systems. TVS – Diodes provide overvoltage protection against electro-static discharge (ESD) and power inductive switching. The MP4KE27CA is a small, low cost, high-speed diode designed for the protection of components from excessive transient voltages.

The MP4KE27CA is an ultra-fast protection device for low to medium power and mid-range voltage applications. The device is designed with a two-step back-off voltage to enable the safe operation of sensitive components like AC input lines, DC input lines, general-purpose silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) and thyristors. It has a surge current rating up to 600 A and the ability to withstand TVSM or the transient voltage suppressor, as it is often referred to, operates with an operating voltage of up to 150 V.

The MP4KE27CA utilizes various operating principles depending on its application. When used in low voltage applications, such as in AC power lines, the TVS-Diode boosts the normal suppression current to cause a rapid voltage drop across the TVS-Diode. This voltage reduction limits the magnitude of the surge current to an acceptable level. When used in mid-to-high voltage applications, such as power inductive switching, the MP4KE27CA operates using a current-limiting mechanism. In this mode, the device acts as a current shunt, limiting the surge current to a safe level. In either mode, the MP4KE27CA provides excellent overvoltage protection.

The MP4KE27CA is widely used in industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, telecommunications, and industrial electronics. Its versatile design allows for efficient protection of sensitive components such as line receivers, amplifiers, power supply circuits, and control circuits. In addition, the device can be used in applications such as ESD protection for low voltage systems, ignition coils and other power supplies, as well as overvoltage protection for high voltage systems, power supplies and motor drives.

The TVS – Diode has also been extensively tested in order to meet the requirements of international safety agencies such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) safety standard UL1449, as well as other standards required by different industries. This ensures that the MP4KE27CA meets the highest safety requirements for use in a wide range of applications.

In conclusion, the MP4KE27CA is an extremely versatile TVS-Diode, offering excellent overvoltage protection in both low and high voltage applications. The device is designed for maximum performance and is UL safety standard rated. With its ability to stand up to the highest voltage requirements, MP4KE27CA is the perfect choice for protection of sensitive digital components.
