Working Principle

The working principle of the MPLAD36KP40CA is to clamp the voltage transient at a relatively low voltage level below the limit voltage value. It uses the PN junction diode as the main device to achieve the overvoltage protection effect. In normal mode, the junction diode behaves like an open circuit in reverse bias, which prevents current flow in the anode to cathode direction. When the transient voltage reaches the breakdown voltage of a PN junction, the circuit will be triggered and the diode will be reversedly biased. This process causes the excess transient voltage to be diverted to the ground through the anode lead, with the PN junction diode acting as a clamping element.

The reverse leakages current does not flow out of the device unless the peak transient voltage exceeds the rated clamping voltage. The High Temperature Storage capabilities and Low Leakage Current also add to the performance of the device which helps to protect the operation device against voltage transients. In addition, the device boasts of a High-Speed Response and lesser space requirement, making it an ideal solution for a broad range of applications.
