MXLPLAD15KP85CAE3 Application Fields and Working Principle

MXLPLAD15KP85CAE3 is a very reliable and efficient TVS diode. It can be used in a wide range of applications, such as overvoltage clamping, load dump suppression, circuit breaker control, transient protection, and ESD protection. The diode is designed to protect sensitive electronic components from over-voltage, over-current, and ESD. It has a maximum voltage of 15kV and a maximum current of 135mA. The diode requires an operating temperature range of -65°C to +175°C.

The working principle of MXLPLAD15KP85CAE3 is based on a Zener diode. A Zener diode is an electrical component which is capable of allowing current to flow in either direction through it. When the voltage across the diode exceeds the breakdown voltage, a transient voltage is created and the diode is able to clamp the overvoltage.This helps protect complex circuits, and sensitive electronic components, from the effects of transient voltages. This diode is able to sense an electric transients and divert them away from sensitive components, protect against overvoltage, or limit maximum voltage.
