MPLAD18KP18A is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode belonging to the ‘TransZorb’ family of products from ON Semiconductor. These diodes are used to protect electronic circuits against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other electrical transient events.The MPLAD18KP18A can handle an ESD rating of up to 18kV HBM in uni-polar and 11kV in bi-polar mode. The diode also has high clamping voltage of 36V with typical capacitance of 115pF at 5V. The diode can be used for a variety of applications including power supplies, data interface ports, routers, servers, networking equipment and more.

The diode has an axial lead type construction making it able to easily mount in applications. It also uses a planar construction which is RoHS compliant and provides small and fast responding devices. The device is epoxy dipped for an extra layer of protection, making it suitable for industrial, commercial and other high-temperature applications.

The diode’s working principle is based on a Zener diode, which is a type of semiconductor device. A Zener diode is a type of diode which is designed to conduct in the reverse direction as well as in the forward direction. When the voltage across it increases to a certain level, it will conduct in the reverse direction, allowing some of the voltage to be ‘clamped’ and preventing the voltage across the network from damaging other components.

The MPLAD18KP18A is particularly useful in high-speed data applications as it is designed to be fast and reliable. The device has a low response time and high breakover voltage which makes it ideal for use in high-speed transmission systems. The diode also offers a high voltage transient protection, as well as a low junction capacitance which helps reduce leakage current. The device also has an ESD rating of up to 18kV HBM in uni-polar and 11kV in bi-polar mode.

The MPLAD18KP18A is a versatile and reliable TVS diode. It can be used for a variety of high-speed applications and provides high over-voltage protection and ESD immunity. The device is RoHS compliant and comes with a wide variety of package and lead configurations to suit a variety of applications. So, if you’re looking for a reliable and fast-acting TVS diode, then the MPLAD18KP18A is the perfect choice.
