Transient Voltage Suppressor diodes (TVS) play a critical role in protecting sensitive electronic devices from power surges, electrostatic discharges, and inductive switching. The MXL1.5KE120A is an example of one such device. It is commonly used for over-voltage protection in applications such as automobiles, medical equipment, telecommunications systems, and appliances.

MXL1.5KE120A belongs to the e-line family of devices in the TVS product group. It is a unidirectional diode designed to protect sensitive circuits such as microprocessors and other highly sensitive analog components from electrical transients that exceed the breakdown or breakdown voltage of the device. It is capable of handling pulse currents up to 5A (average), with peak pulse power of 400W at 10/1000µs waveform.

The MXL1.5KE120A is typically used for 5V systems and offers a very fast response time of less than 1 nanosecond. It has a lower voltage of 14.6V and an upper voltage sharing clamping voltage of 33V. The device is offered in a low-profile SLP package which is suitable for surface mounting.

The MXL1.5KE120A has several features that make it well suited for use in automotive applications, such as the ability to endure mechanical shock and vibration, wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, and high thermal load cycling capabilities. It is also capable of handling over-voltage and over-current surges without sacrificing performance. The device also has a wide SOA (Safe Operating Area) that allows for a high degree of protection against power surges.

The working principle of the MXL1.5KE120A is fairly straightforward. When an over-voltage or high-current surge occurs, the device acts as a sacrificial element, allowing the excess energy to dissipate safely instead of damaging the components of the circuit. The device works by changing the voltage across the terminals, reducing the current, and dissipating the energy of the transient as heat in the junction.

The MXL1.5KE120A is a versatile device that is rugged, reliable, and highly efficient. It is well suited for use in a variety of applications, ranging from automotive to telecom, and offers a high degree of protection from power surges. Its wide operating temperature range and fast response time make it ideal for use in high-voltage, high-current applications. In addition, its low-profile package allows for easy implementation in a variety of environments.
