MSMLJ110AE3

TVS – Diodes (Transient Voltage Suppression Diodes) are electronic components which act as a kind of “surge protector”, providing a high level of protection for sensitive devices against transient voltage surges. The MSMLJ110AE3 is a high-performance, low-capacitance, Uni-Directional TVS diode array designed to protect sensitive equipment from over-voltage or electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. It is specifically designed to protect against lightning surges, ESD, and other transient voltage events that may occur in a multitude of different applications.

The MSMLJ110AE3 is an ultra low-capacitance device, with a capacitance rating of just 1.6pF. This means it can be used in a wide range of applications where fast response time is a key requirement. It has a low clamping voltage of 10V for ESD strikes and a peak pulse current rating of 40A resulting in excellent protection from surge events. It can be used in a variety of applications such as automotive, industrial control equipment, and telecoms.

In terms of its working principle, when a surge of voltage passes through the diode, it causes the current to be diverted away from the main circuit. This in turn reduces the effect of the surge, protecting sensitive components from damage. It works by providing a low impedance path for current to flow. This path is designed to act as a “shunt” and will prevent any voltage spike from reaching the main circuit. The diode is composed of a p-n junction, which acts as a rectifier, allowing only one direction of current flow.

The MSMLJ110AE3 is an excellent choice for a variety of applications where transient voltage protection is necessary. It is designed to be used in electronic circuits to protect against ESD, lightning surges, and other transient voltage events. It is an ideal solution for use in automotive, industrial control equipment, and telecoms applications. Its low-capacitance rating ensures fast response time, and its peak pulse current rating of 40A make it an ideal choice for protecting sensitive components from surges.
