TVS (transient voltage suppression) diodes are a type of semiconductor device used to protect electrical and electronic components against electrical overstress caused by spikes, surges, transients and electrostatic discharges. The MXL1.5KE180AE3 is a unidirectional TVS-diode commonly used for anti-surge protection in applications such as computers, telecommunications, Ethernet ports, consumer electronics, warning systems, medical equipment and automotive.

The MXL1.5KE180AE3 is a unidirectional TVS-diode that includes a zener diode. It contains two electrical components: a diode and a zener diode. The diode limits current flow in one direction while the zener diode limits the voltage in the opposite direction. During surges, the diode blocks current through the circuit, providing a protective function. The zener diode then flips states and allows the excess current to flow as a surge to the ground.

The MXL1.5KE180AE3 has an operating voltage of 1.5kV and a peak pulse power of 180W. It has an internal resistance of less than 5 ohms and is capable of withstanding a surge pulse of 6A. This component is available in a variety of packages that are suitable for most surface mounting requirements. It also provides excellent thermal stability and can withstand high temperatures for extended periods of time.

The working principle behind the MXL1.5KE180AE3 is relatively simple. It is designed to provide an electrical barrier to transients and surge currents, thus protecting the components downstream of the diode. When a surge or transient passes through the diode, the current is redirected away from the circuit, thus protecting the components downstream.

The MXL1.5KE180AE3 has a wide array of applications. It is commonly used to protect electronics in consumer electronics, telecommunications, computers, medical devices, warning systems, and automotive. With its low capacitance and internal resistance, it is capable of providing quick and effective protection against voltage overshoots and surges. Its high operating voltage and peak pulse power also make it well-suited for applications such as solar systems, power line protection, and sophisticated military systems.

Overall, the MXL1.5KE180AE3 is an excellent choice for providing effective protection from voltage overshoots and surges. Its wide application range and internal resistance make it well-suited for use in a variety of applications. With its high peak pulse power and low capacitance, it is an ideal choice for protecting components from transient voltage stress.
