MXP4KE110A Circuit Protection

The MXP4KE110A is a unidirectional reflector designed specifically for use in TVS - Diodes applications. This reflective component can protect sensitive electronic components from electrical overstress and damage. The device utilizes the surge absorber circuit design to absorb momentary high voltage, reducing peak current and vltage. It can be used in a variety of applications including automotive, industrial, telecoms, and medical.

Performance Characteristics

The MXP4KE110A has a reverse working voltage of 11V, a maximum peak pulse current of 22A, and a peak power dissipation of 900W. It has an operating temperature range of - 55°C to 150°C, and a thermal resistance of 0.5K/W. The device is capable of continuously absorbing current up to 4.5A.

Working Principle

The MXP4KE110A is made using a combination of an avalanche diode and a connecting resistance. Under normal operation, the internal resistance absorbs the high current and voltage. When a surge of energy interacts with the connecting resistance, the voltage across the circuit increases and the avalanche diode triggers and absorbs the discbarge. This removes the overvoltage situation and returns the device back to the normal working voltage.

Applications

The MXP4KE110A is a low-cost device capable of handling a wide range of circuits. Its ability to absorb and dissipate high voltage and current makes it ideal for protecting sensitive electronic components from unexpected events and power transients. This device is commonly used in automotive, industrial, telecoms, and medical applications.
