TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes inherently specialize in protection against transient voltage and surge events, and the MXL5KP10A is no exception. This device is designed solely for overvoltage protection, letting it provide tight clamping operating with a low stand-off voltage and fast response time. This opens up new possibilities for electronic devices, systems, and infrastructure with potentially hostile electrical events.

The MXL5KP10A comes in an SMA (Sub-Miniature A) footprint for easy implementation, and is housed in single-ended, glass-passivated, discrete containers with a black-plastic overmolded body to reduce package stress due to thermal expansion and contraction. This bi-directional, unidirectional, and bidirectional surge protection diode is suitable for a wide variety of applications including automotive, communications, consumer electronics, and industrial, among many others.

The working principle of the MXL5KP10A is quite simple yet extremely effective. When the input voltage begins to exceed the stand-off voltage, the TMOV diode begins to conduct and form a low voltage drop shunt. This shunts the flow of current through the device, rapidly limiting the output voltage. In other words, it acts as a clamp to decrease the output voltage to prevent damage to the device being protected.

The MXL5KP10A offers a variety of desirable features, including peak pulse power up to 5kW, high working voltage up to 10kV, and the capability to operate in temperatures up to 175°F (80°C) without any deterioration in performance. Furthermore, it offers excellent electrical characteristics with symmetrical capacitances, proximity to unity gain, high insulation resistance, excellent stability over time, and a wide operating temperature range. It is UL recognized, and AEC-Q101 qualified, so you can always have peace of mind with the quality and safety of the product.

The MXL5KP10A is effective at mitigating a variety of hazardous electrical events, such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT), lightning strikes, and other electrical surges. Because of this, it is suitable for use in products such as battery chargers, electrically operated vehicles, inverters, power supplies, and starter/generator systems. It is also suitable for any device which must comply with automotive and electrical safety standards, such as UL, IEC, EN, and CSA.

In conclusion, the MXL5KP10A is an ideal choice for reliable and effective protection against transient voltage and surge events. It packs a variety of features such as 5kW peak pulse power up to 10kV working voltage, and excellent electrical characteristics with proximity to unity gain, high insulation resistance, and more. Plus, it is UL recognized, and AEC-Q101 qualified, so you can rest assured knowing the device meets the highest standards. Best of all, its simple working principle and small size make the MXL5KP10A perfect for applications where size and efficiency are a priority.
