The MXL1.5KE18AE3 is a transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode. This diode belongs to the eSMP® SMBJ series and is designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients or spikes caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD). It has a maximum peak pulse power (pk) rating of 1.5 kilowatts (kW) at 8/20 μs waveforms with a stand-off voltage (VRWM) of 18 volts (V).

The TVS diode\'s working principle employs the use of semiconductor technology to reduce electrical transients in voltage, especially at the time of high-voltage discharges. Specifically, the MXL1.5KE18AE3 utilizes a Zener diode property to steer a high surge of electricity away from sensitive components and into a safety load. This load is designed to limit the amount of energy that is directed towards the diode and to protect against secondary damage from the electrical surge.

In real-world applications, the MXL1.5KE18AE3 can be used to protect a variety of electronic components from destructive transients and surges. This includes, but is not limited to, power supplies, circuit boards, transistors, diodes, relays, and other low-voltage components. It can be especially useful in applications such as telecommunications, consumer electronics, medical equipment, automotive electronics, and other systems where high-frequency signals are used.

The MXL1.5KE18AE3 was built for surface-mounted applications, making it especially attractive to smaller spaces or limited board space. Furthermore, it has a typical thermal resistance of 2.8°C/W, offering improved thermal performance in high-temperature applications. It can also operate safely in temperatures as high as 125°C.

The MXL1.5KE18AE3 is an ideal solution for high-speed, low-power surges. It is a reliable source of surge protection that offers outstanding performance and is cost-effective. Its tight tolerances, high thermal performance, and excellent protection characteristics make it a popular choice for designers of sensitive electronic circuits.
