MXLCE100A Circuit Protection

TVS diodes are essential components in power supply systems, and MXLCE100A is a type of TVS diode. It is designed to protect electronic equipment from overvoltage transients such as those generated by lightning and electrical noise. This diode is an axial package which means it can be mounted on a printed circuit board in order to use the device. The device has a peak power rating of 400W and a clamping voltage of 130V.

MXLCE100A has a wide range of applications and can be used to protect power supplies, DC-DC converters, low voltage power supplies, data line signal lines, and more. Additionally, it can also be used to protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD). As for the working principle, the diode works by a process known as avalanche breakdown. When an overvoltage transient appears, the avalanche breakdown or the increase in electric field will reduce the depletion region and trigger a very fast turn-on of the diode. This, in turn, reduces the voltage across the device, allowing it to absorb the energy. This is why MXLCE100A is suitable for protection against overvoltage transients.

As mentioned earlier, MXLCE100A is an axial mounted diode. This means that the device is placed on the printed circuit board (PCB) and soldered in place. This type of installation has the advantage of being user friendly and easy to mount. The device is also quite compact, making it well-suited for applications where space is limited. Additionally, the device has been thoroughly tested to ensure that it can withstand repetitive shock and vibration conditions.

In conclusion, MXLCE100A is a type of TVS diode that can be used to protect electronic equipment from overvoltage transients such as those generated by lightning and electrical noise. This diode is an axial package and has a peak power rating of 400W and a clamping voltage of 130V. It has a wide range of applications and works on the principle of avalanche breakdown. Finally, it is user friendly and can be installed easily on a PCB.
