MP5KE5.0CAE3 is a TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode, which widely used in electronic circuits and components for lightning-proof, high and low voltage protection, over-current protection and others. In this paper, we will introduce the application field and working principle of MP5KE5.0CAE3.

Application Field

MP5KE5.0CAE3 is an ultra-fast diode, and it has features of excellent clamping capability, low operating voltage, low leakage current and good stability. That means MP5KE5.0CAE3 is extensively used in the lightning-proof, suppressing transients, low voltage protection, transient surge protection and other requirements of electronic equipment. MP5KE5.0CAE3 diode is usually connected in parallel with the protected component, so it can help to dissipate impulsive current, reduce voltage and protect thecircuit. In addition, this kind of diode is also used to protect sensitive electronic equipment, such as IC’s, CMOS chips, transistors and other semiconductor devices.

Working Principle

After applying AC and DC voltage to MP5KE5.0CAE3 TVS diode, it will exhibit a very low forward voltage drop, low gate capacitance and superb clamping ability. When the voltage reaches the breakdown voltage, the diode will start conducting, and the avalanche breakdown mechanism will converts the sharp electrical transient into an energy that can be safely dissipated in the diode. This action is called “clamping”, and it can reduce the voltage to avoid damage to other components in the circuit. Furthermore, the anti-parallel diode inherent in the design of the diode also helps to prevent damages from instantaneous high currents during a reverse polarity connection.

As one of the most important components for over-voltage protection and high and low voltage protection, TVS diode such as MP5KE5.0CAE3 is always used to guarantee the normal running of the circuit. With the changes in the environment and the rapid increase of applied voltage, TVS diodes have also been improved, and more and more new technologies are being applied to make them become increasingly complete.
