TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors) diodes are designed to provide reliable protection against transient voltage surges tested up to international standards. The MX5KP11A device belongs to this family and is relevant for applications requiring surge current handling up to 5KA. Its usual implementation ranges from telecoms to industrial use, being employed in multiple wiring systems and circuits.

The Static characteristics of MX5KP11A are as follows: Clamping voltage at 10ms pulse = 11.0V and Maximum peak pulse current at 10/1000 μs surge waveform = 5.0KA. Moreover, its DC power dissipation is Pd = 2.2 W at Tamb = 25ºC.

The working principle of MX5KP11A is based on five attributes, three of which are the rate of rise of voltage (dv/dt), clamping voltage, peak surge current, steady state power rating and surge power rating. The dv/dt, also known as the clamping voltage, is a measure of the amount of charge the diode can absorb. The clamping voltage is then stored in the device which, in response to a voltage spike, begins to release the stored charge thus reducing the voltage spike. The MX5KP11A furthermore has the ability to handle up to 5.0KA peak surge current which makes it suitable for use in telecommunications and/or industrial applications. Its steady state rating ensures a constant current and voltage is maintained within the device under normal conditions.

In addition to the electrical attributes, since the MX5KP11A is a TVS diode, it also contains a thermal shutdown rating which provides the necessary protection from high temperatures. In order to optimize system performances it’s important to take into account the ambient temperature of the system under a particular application as well as the thermal rating of the device. Consequently, the MX5KP11A is available in several packages, from small SMD packages to large though-hole packages. This wide range of packages allows the user to select the best product for their particular application.

The MX5KP11A is further certified according to most important national and international standards such as UL, CSA and IEC. This certification makes it suitable for use in applications including telecoms, industrial control systems, medical systems and etc.

To sum up, the MX5KP11A is a robust TVS diode from General Semiconductor which stands up to 5.0KA peak pulse current and can safely handle transient voltages of up to 11V. It’s a reliable protection option for telecommunication systems, computer, medical instruments and other equipment.
