MRT100KP220CA

TVS - Diodes

The MRT100Kp220CA is a TVS Diode (Transient Voltage Suppression) that is widely used to protect leading edge communications and electro-mechanical equipment from over-voltage transients. TVS Diodes are used in a variety of applications, ranging from medical and telecom equipment, to consumer electronics, automobiles and computers. They work by clamping the transient voltage across the circuit to a safe level, and preventing any over-voltage damage.

Applications

MRT100Kp220CA TVS Diodes are designed to protect sensitive components from large voltage transients, including lightning strikes, electrostatic discharge (ESD) and power contact discharge. Common applications of TVS Diodes include: Protection of electronics from high voltage transients, such as high voltage power surges, over and under voltage surges, lightning strikes, and Electro Magnetic Pulses (EMP). They are also used in automotive electronics (infotainment systems, audio amplifiers and ECUs), home appliances, medical equipment, communication systems, and industrial equipment.

Working Principle

MRT100Kp220CA TVS Diode is composed of a zener diode and an integrated resistor. When exposed to a large voltage transient, the special construction of the TVS Diode causes the resistor to dissipate the current, while the zener diode acts to limit the peak voltage. This allows the fastener to safely absorb and dissipate large transients.

MRT100Kp220CA TVS Diodes have a breakdown voltage of 220V and a low leakage current of 1 µA. The TVS Diode also features an adjustable ESD protection level and a wide operating temperature range. This makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications, including telecommunications, consumer electronics, computers, and medical equipment.
