MXL1.5KE68AE3 Circuit Protection

TVS diodes are a type of semiconductor device that provides protection from hazardous voltage spikes. The MXL1.5KE68AE3 is a unidirectional TVS diode designed to protect circuits from overvoltage transients. It is manufactured using a low-power semiconductor process and provides excellent protection against lightning, inductive switching, and electrostatic discharges.

The diode is constructed with a low-voltage- sensitive silicon junction that clamps the voltage spikes, protecting the subsequent circuit. The diode has a peak power rating of 8W and is designed to meet international safety standards. In addition, it is UL certified and compliant with IEC 61000-4- 2 (ESD) 15kV. It is also compliant with IEC 61000-4-5 (Lightning surge) 8A (8/20μs).

The MXL1.5KE68AE3 series is ideal for use in high speed Ethernet local area networks (LAN) systems, television networks, satellite broadcast and cable systems, and other high speed data communication systems. The device can be used in any physical layer and can help ensure that long-term signal integrity is not compromised. The device can also be integrated into industrial monitoring and control systems, helping to ensure reliable data acquisition.

The MXL1.5KE68AE3 works by controlling and limiting voltage spikes to predetermined levels. When the device encounters a voltage spike, it quickly converts the voltage into a current and then dissipates the current to safely ground. This helps to protect the connected circuit while also minimizing the effects of the overvoltage transient.

The MXL1.5KE68AE3 series is RoHS compliant, halogen free, and low power dissipating, making it an ideal choice for many applications. It is designed to provide greater circuit protection in a variety of demanding applications. This makes it a great choice for anyone looking for a robust and reliable protection device.
