TVS diodes are components which are designed to protect electronic circuits from harmful voltage spikes. The MX1.5KE27A is a Unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode with an operating absorption of 1500 Watts. It can be used for a variety of applications. This article looks at the applications and working principle of the MX1.5KE27A.

Applications

The MX1.5KE27A has a wide range of applications. It can be used to protect electronic circuits from spikes and excessive voltage. It is particularly useful for protecting sensitive electronics from over-voltage transients caused by lightning strikes, or power lines that are switched on or off. It can also be used to protect small motor systems from voltage transients caused by malfunctions or spikes in the system. Additionally, the MX1.5KE27A can be used as a general purpose diode for logic circuits.

Working Principle

The MX1.5KE27A works by clamping the voltage of an electrical circuit to a safe level. It consists of two parts: an N-type and a P-type region. When the input voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the P-type region, the voltage is clamped to the breakdown voltage. When the voltage drops below the breakdown voltage, the diode is switched off and the circuit is no longer protected. The diode also has a reverse leakage current protection feature which allows it to protect the circuit even in the presence of low reverse leakage currents.

The recommended operating voltage for the MX1.5KE27A is twenty volts and its maximum working voltage is fifteen volts. The breakdown voltage is twenty-five volts and the clamping voltage is thirty-two volts. The pulse current is twenty-five Amp. The total power dissipation for the device is 1500 Watts.

Conclusion

The MX1.5KE27A is a robust and reliable device for use in circuit protection applications. It can be used to protect sensitive electronics from over-voltage transients and power surges, and as a general purpose diode for logic circuits. It has a breakdown voltage of twenty-five volts and a maximum working voltage of fifteen volts.
