TVS - Diodes

A Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode is an electronic component that is used to protect other components on a circuit from short pulses of high voltage. They are similar to Zener diodes, but can withstand much higher voltages and better handle high current pulses.

The MXLPLAD18KP160A is a robust and dependable TVS diode that features superior surge capability in a small, surface mount package. It provides excellent over-voltage protection against transients, such as those caused by lightning events, as well as line transients caused by load switching.

Application Field

MXLPLAD18KP160A is ideal for use in a range of industrial and consumer applications, particularly those that require excellent over-voltage protection from transients. These can include:

• Personal electronics
• Computer peripherals
• Network devices
• Aerospace and automotive electronics
• Telecommunications equipment
• Industrial electronics and control systems

Working Principle

When used in a system, the MXLPLAD18KP160A TVS diode works by conducting current away from sensitive components in the event of a transient voltage spike or surge. This is accomplished by using the diode\'s internal protection elements to rapidly shunt the high voltage pulse to ground. The diode then immediately reverts back to its regular, low-voltage, non-conductive state.

The diode is designed to absorb all types of electrical transients, ranging from static electricity discharges of only 10V all the way up to high voltage transients of up to 20V. It is also able to handle a wide range of current pulses, providing superior protection from voltage transients in many different applications.

In addition, the MXLPLAD18KP160A is designed for extreme reliability. It utilizes a solid-state construction, meaning it is less susceptible to wear and tear than traditional Zener-based solutions. It also features an intrinsically low profile (−6 mm max), allowing it to fit into almost any application.

Conclusion

The MXLPLAD18KP160A is an excellent solution for circuit protection from voltage transients. It features superior surge capability in a small, surface mount package, and can handle a wide range of current pulses, making it an ideal choice for many industrial and consumer applications.
