MPLAD15KP130A/TR Circuit Protection

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors) diodes are used for overvoltage protection and can prevent catastrophic damage to delicate electronic components when exposed to overvoltage events. The MPLAD15KP130A/TR TVS diode is designed to protect against lightning surges, electrostatic discharge, and other voltage transients in AC/DC power applications from 130W to 15kW. Here are the applications and working principles of this TVS diode.

Applications of MPLAD15KP130A/TR TVS diode

The MPLAD15KP130A/TR is ideal for industrial power systems, communications systems, HVAC systems, automotive applications, lighting systems, and numerous other applications that require overvoltage protection. It is suitable for hazardous and long-distance industrial power lines and cables, as well as for the electrical outlet installed in the wall. Also, the MPLAD15KP130A/TR is designed for direct AC and DC power applications, and the AC and DC input power supplies and mainboards in the system.

Working principles of MPLAD15KP130A/TR TVS diode

The working principle of the MPLAD15KP130A/TR TVS diode is simple and effective. It is based on a junction breakdown voltage of 15kW, which is used as the danger limit when an overvoltage situation is detected. When the transmitted signal or current exceeds that limit, the circuit experiences a breakdown voltage, effectively stopping the current and protecting the system from harm.

The MPLAD15KP130A/TR also features a thermal protection system. This system monitors the diode junction temperature and shuts down the device if it exceeds its maximal rated temperature, further ensuring the safety of the system and its components. These mechanisms help the MPLAD15KP130A/TR better serve a variety of high-voltage applications.
