MXL1.5KE160AE3 Application Field and Working Principle

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) Diodes are widely used in protecting circuits from damages caused by electrostatic discharges, power surges, high-speed switching transients, etc. The MXL1.5KE160AE3 is one of the most popular TVS diodes and it is designed to protect circuits highly sensitive to voltage transients. It is commonly found in computers, LED displays, networking equipment, mobile phones, automotive electronics and many other applications.

The MXL1.5KE160AE3 diode is a single-line Uni-directional TVS diode specifically designed to protect sensitive circuitry from high voltage transients, whether these are caused by static discharge or by high-speed switching transients. It can also protect against over-voltage and reverse voltage transients, which may be caused by lightning strikes, power line surges or other external sources of voltage spikes. The diode operates on volts up to 1.5KV (1,500 volts).

The MXL1.5KE160AE3 diode works by providing a low impedance current path that can quickly respond to voltage surges and spikes. The low impedance current path shorts the surge voltage and diverts it to ground, thereby protecting the sensitive circuitry. The current through the diode is limited by the high breakdown voltage of 1.5KV, and the diode can safely absorb a maximum power dissipation of 1.0W.

The MXL1.5KE160AE3 features two shorting pins at its anode and cathode pins to ensure that the diode does not conduct reverse voltage. The shorting pins MUST be connected to ground for the diode to function properly and it is highly recommended that a separate ground lug is provided for the anode pin and for the cathode pin, this will protect the sensitive circuitry and drain the voltage away quickly.

The MXL1.5KE160AE3 is highly reliable, it comes with an low-capacitance electrostatic isolation construction that ensures stability when exposed to high voltage transients. It also offers fast response time, providing circuit protection in less than a few nanoseconds and withstanding multiple surge events without sacrificing its protection. The diode is also RoHS compliant and provides a wide range of protection from ESD and lightning pulses.

In conclusion, the MXL1.5KE160AE3 is a highly reliable and robust TVS diode that can provide protection against ESD, high voltage transients, lightning surges. Other features such as fast response time, low capacitance electrostatic isolation and RoHS compliance makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
