MPLAD30KP110A Circuit Protection

TVS - Diodes

TVS stands for Transient Voltage Suppressor, and is a kind of diode that helps protect sensitive electronics from voltage transients. It is widely used in automotive, industrial, and telecom applications. The MPLAD30KP110A is a TVS diode that has a peak pulse power dissipation of 30,000 watts (30 kW) and a peak pulse current rating of 110 amps (A).

Application Field

The MPLAD30KP110A can be used to protect electronics from transient voltage events in a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in military and aerospace applications to protect high-performance electronic systems from over-voltage spikes. It is also used in automotive applications to protect sensitive electronics, like navigation and entertainment systems. Additionally, the MPLAD30KP110A is also used in the telecommunications industry, as it helps protect cellular networks from voltage variability.

Working Principle

The MPLAD30KP110A operates on the principle of reverse breakdown. When the input voltage rises to a critical value, the diode will switch on and immediately transfer current away from the sensitive electronics. This helps protect the electronics from over-voltage damage. The MPLAD30KP110A is an ideal choice for transient voltage suppression, as it has a fast switching time and can handle high pulse currents.

The MPLAD30KP110A has several other features that help it be an effective TVS diode. It has a low capacitance value and a low leakage current, which helps reduce interference with sensitive electronics. Additionally, the device also features a low clamping voltage, which ensures it can handle heavy duty applications without affecting the operation of attached electronics.

The MPLAD30KP110A is an essential component for protecting sensitive electronics from transient voltage spikes in a wide range of applications. It can handle high pulse currents, has a low leakage current, and is easily installed. This makes it a cost-effective method for protecting sensitive electronics while ensuring they will remain operational even during extreme voltage disturbance.
