MPLAD6.5KP60AE3

TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diodes protect sensitive electronics components against electrical surges in a variety of applications, such as automotive, medical, and consumer electronic products. The MPLAD6.5KP60AE3 is a unidirectional TVS diode specifically designed to protect low-voltage signals. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of the MPLAD6.5KP60AE3.

The MPLAD6.5KP60AE3 is a 6.5V unidirectional low-clamping voltage TVS diode. It is designed to suppress transient overvoltage for both data line and power line applications, including USB 2.0, consumer electronics, computer peripherals, data acquisition systems, and automotive. It is also suitable for protecting circuits from the damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), induced surges, lightning, and other transients.

The working principle behind the MPLAD6.5KP60AE3 is relatively simple. When the voltage across the diode exceeds the breakdown voltage of the diode’s avalanche region, the diode begins to conduct, allowing current to flow. This creates a low-impedance path to ground, which effectively dampens transient voltage spikes by providing an alternate current path, thus protecting the device or circuit it is protecting. The low-clamping voltage of the diode means that it will clamp the transient voltage to a safe level, reducing the potential damage to circuits and other components.

The MPLAD6.5KP60AE3 is designed to protect low-voltage signals from up to 20 energy pulses, and its high peak power rating makes it suitable for pulse applications. Its low impedance makes it ideal for ESD/surge protection, as it can suppress up to four times the clamping voltage of ordinary TVS diodes. It has a low clamping voltage and high surge current rating, making it well-suited to protecting sensitive consumer electronics such as cell phones, laptops, and PDAs, as well as industrial and automotive electronics.

In conclusion, the MPLAD6.5KP60AE3 is a unidirectional low-clamping voltage TVS diode designed to protect against transient overvoltage for both data line and power line applications. Its low impedance and high peak power rating make it suitable for ESD/surge protection, and its low clamping voltage and high surge current rating make it well-suited to protecting sensitive consumer electronics. It is designed to protect low-voltage signals from up to 20energy pulses, and its high peak power rating makes it suitable for pulse applications.
