MP5KE9.0CA

The MP5KE9.0CA is a part of the transient voltage suppressor (TVS) - Diode family. It is designed to protect components from voltage spikes and electrical transients, which can be damaging to voltage sensitive devices. Since its introduction, this particular TVS-Diode has been widely used in a variety of industries, thanks to its performance and wide protection range.

The MP5KE9.0CA is a bi-directional device, which means it can protect against overvoltage in both polarities. It can protect against voltage spikes of up to 9 volts; any higher voltages will be clamped and discharged safely into the environment. The TVS-Diode features a wide operating range, from 4 volts up to 9 volts.

The primary use of the MP5KE9.0CA is in voltage sensitive circuit applications, such as computers and electronic circuits. It can also be used in automotive, medical, and communications applications. It can protect delicate circuits from high energy surge events, such as lightning strikes. Generally, any circuit which is vulnerable to electrical transients can benefit from the use of the MP5KE9.0CA.

The working principle of the MP5KE9.0CA is based on the breakdown voltage of a silicon diode. In a TVS diode, the breakdown voltage is higher than that of an ordinary silicon diode, and as a result, can protect against much higher voltage spikes. When the voltage reaches the breakdown point, the TVS diode will switch on and reduce the voltage to a safe level. It is then discharged into the environment via an external resistor.

The MP5KE9.0CA is a robust, reliable and cost-effective solution that can protect against voltage spikes. It is widely used in a variety of applications, thanks to its wide operating range and performance. It can be used in a variety of industries, including automotive, medical, communications, and other sensitive circuit applications.
