TVS – Diodes devices are used to protect sensitive electronic components from transient voltage spikes which can cause damage and disruption. The MX1.5KE27CA is a unidirectional device, meaning that it only offers protection against voltages travelling in one direction, and is commonly used as an overvoltage protection device in mobile and electronic devices.

The MX1.5KE27CA can provide protection to both the high and low side of the protected circuit, protects against overvoltage transients on the power or signal lines of electronic systems, helps safeguard delicate circuits from high-voltage transients generated by load dump and inductive spikes, and reduces the risk of interruption or damage caused by thermal stresses and voltage breakdowns. In comparison to traditional transorb devices which require a high supply voltage, this device does not need an external voltage supply, making it perfect for use in AC power lines and other applications with tight space constraints.

The main application field for the MX1.5KE27CA is as an interface protection device for both low and high voltage cable, telecom, and instrumentation applications. This is due to its low reverse clamping voltage of 27V and maximum peak repeated reverse current of 1.5A. The device also comes in both leaded and leadless forms, allowing it to fit applications with various board designs.

The working principle of the MX1.5KE27CA is known as avalanche breakdown, which is when the rapidly increasing width of a gap between metal electrodes causes the current through the device to exceed its reverse breakdown rating of 27V. At this point, the device enters avalanche breakdown mode and starts to behave like a diode. Under this condition the device will clamp unwanted surges to a pre-defined voltage level, keeping the device in a "safe" mode of operation.

The MX1.5KE27CA is yet another example of how TVS – Diodes devices can help safeguard electronics whilst providing a stable, low capacitance, low inductance solution for a variety of applications. It offers the perfect solution for protecting circuits from voltage transients in mobile and electronic devices, and is an ideal choice for cable, telecom and instrumentation applications.
