The MXLPLAD36KP40A is an evacuation diode developed by EPC and classified as a TVS – Diode. Specifically, it is a general-purpose silicon diode featuring low capacitance, low leakage, and a fast response time. It is suitable for protection against transient voltage conditions at a breakdown voltage of 36 Volts. With a reverse leakage of <5µA@25V and a forward voltage of 0.62V@10mA, it is one of the most durable components that can withstand Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), Lightning, and Surge protection.

Application Field

The primary application of the MXLPLAD36KP40A diode is in-vehicles. The 36V breakdown voltage helps to protect the vehicle’s sensitive electronics from being damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). The fast response time ensures that the diode quickly responds to any voltage transient condition, thus avoiding in-vehicle damage. The low capacitance also helps to reduce EMI in-vehicles.

Apart from in-vehicles, the diode is also useful for consumer electronics products, such as televisions, telephones, computers, etc. It can be used to protect these products from lightning and surge protection. The long-term reliability and low capacitance make it a suitable choice for these products.

It also plays an important role in industrial areas where hazardous voltages can damage sensitive components. It has a long life span, which means that it can be used to protect the components from ESD, lightning, surge protection, and other hazardous voltages.

Working Principle

The MXLPLAD36KP40A diode uses an avalanche breakdown process to dissipate energy. When it is exposed to a voltage higher than the breakdown voltage, current starts to flow in between the two opposing electrodes, known as the anode and the cathode. When the current between the two electrodes reaches a certain level, the avalanche breakdown process begins and the voltage across the diode drops. This process dissipates the energy, protecting the circuit from being exposed to the voltage.

If the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, the diode also acts as a conductor, absorbing the voltage so that it does not damage the connected components. This process is known as voltage clamping. The diode\'s capacitance helps to reduce the effect of EMI, ensuring that the connected components are not affected.

In summary, the MXLPLAD36KP40A is a general-purpose evacuation diode featuring low capacitance, low leakage, and a fast response time. It is suitable for protection against transient voltage conditions at a breakdown voltage of 36 volts. It has a wide range of applications and uses an avalanche breakdown process to dissipate energy.
