TVS - Diodes are components used to protect electronic circuits. They are designed to shunt voltages, clamps or limit surges that exceed the operating voltage range of a circuit, thus protecting any sensitive components in the circuit from the effect of these surges and clamping the voltage to a tolerable level. The MPLAD18KP30AE3 is a type of Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode from the Diodes Incorporated series.

The MPLAD18KP30AE3 is made for surface mounting on various circuits and features a low voltage threshold of 18 V, and a maximum power dissipation of 500 W. It is built on an metal semiconductor junction, which conducts current when the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the diode, otherwise it remains off. The reverse stand-off voltage of the diode is rated at 15 V, with a peak pulse power of not more than 6.5 kW.

The rated working voltage of the MPLAD18KP30AE3 ranges from 15-30 V and it can be used in capacitively coupled circuits, decrease power turns sequence circuits, and high surges circuit. The product is housed in an LLDPE UL94V-0 flammability compliant package, which makes it ideal for use in many applications such as communications, automotive, consumer electronics and much more.

The working principle of the MPLAD18KP30AE3 is simple but effective. It is designed to protect electronic circuits from voltage spikes by clamping the excess voltage to a safe level and dissipating the extra energy. When the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the diode, it will conduct current, limiting the voltage across it and dissipating the remaining energy as heat. Once the voltage across the diode diminishes, the diode will stop conducting current and return to its off state.

The MPLAD18KP30AE3 has an ultra-fast response time of 1 ns, and can withstand ESD pulses up to 8 kV making it an ideal component for industrial applications requiring fast and robust protection from overvoltages. It is also UL Recognized and RoHS compliant, making it environmentally friendly.

In summary, the MPLAD18KP30AE3 TVS Diode by Diodes Incorporated is an effective and affordable way to protect electronic circuitry from surges. It is designed to withstand up to 8 kV ESD pulses and boasts an ultra-fast response time of 1 ns making it suitable for high-end applications. The small package makes it ideal for use in many industrial environments and its low voltage threshold makes it ideal for low voltage applications. The product is UL Recognized and RoHS compliant, making it environmentally friendly.
