MRT100KP350CAE3 Circuit Protection

Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are widely used semiconductor devices used to protect electronic circuitry from transient voltage spikes. They are most frequently encountered as diode-based devices. The MRT100KP350CAE3 is a TVS diode that provides effective transient voltage protection for sensitive electronic circuits. It is designed to protect circuit components from destructive overvoltage transients, and helps to maintain a stable operating voltage for sensitive devices.

Application Field:
The MRT100KP350CAE3 is designed with a wide range of applications in mind, including industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics. Its unidirectional protection capability makes it suitable for use in automotive systems as a reverse polarity protection diode, as well as for transient voltage suppression in any AC-DC power supply or digital circuit. The MRT100KP350CAE3 is also capable of protecting audio-video receivers and other sensitive circuits from voltage transients.

Working Principle:
At normal operating conditions, the MRT100KP350CAE3 acts as an open circuit, allowing normal voltages to pass through without obstruction. When the voltage exceeds its clamping voltage, it acts as a short-circuit. This diverts the excess voltage to ground, protecting the circuit from damage by the transient surge. The low leakage current of the device also ensures that only a minimum amount of current passes through the circuit during normal operation.

The MRT100KP350CAE3 is part of a family of transient voltage suppression diodes from a leading film diode manufacturer. These devices offer an effective solution for protecting sensitive electronic circuitry from the damage that can be caused by voltage transient events. They offer a low-cost method of protecting AC-DC power supplies, digital circuits, and a range of audio-video receivers from the potentially destructive effects of overvoltage transients.
