MXP4KE9.1A Circuit Protection

The MXP4KE9.1A is a Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diode, designed to protect electronics from damaging voltage spikes that occur when the system is exposed to transients. It is available in a range of power ratings, from 3W to 24W, and is fully qualified to IEC/EN 61000-4-2 level 4 standards.

Application Field of MXP4KE9.1A

MXP4KE9.1A is used to provide protection for downstream devices from high-voltage transients, such as those generated by lightning or switching. It is used for protection of telecommunications equipment, industrial electronics, automotive electronics, and other sensitive electronic equipment. Most modern consumer electronics contain TVS devices to provide protection from harmful transients.

Working Principle of MXP4KE9.1A

The MXP4KE9.1A is a Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diode that operates by clamping voltages at a safe level. When a transient voltage occurs, typically exceeding the breakdown voltage of the diode, the diode turns on and limits the transient voltage to a safe level. This enables the protected device to continue to operate undisturbed. The MXP4KE9.1A diode will absorb any additional transients until it reaches a safe power dissipation level, at which point it will reset and be ready to protect against further voltage transients.

The MXP4KE9.1A also offers protection against ESD (electrostatic discharge) and is certified to the IEC/EN 61000-4-2 level 4 standard. This ensures the device will provide reliable protection against discharge rates up to 8 kV (contact) and 15 kV (air).

Conclusion

The MXP4KE9.1A is an excellent choice for protecting sensitive electronic devices from harmful transient events. It is available in a range of power ratings, from 3W to 24W, and is fully qualified to IEC/EN 61000-4-2 level 4 standards. The MXP4KE9.1A also offers protection against ESD and is certified to the IEC/EN 61000-4-2 level 4 standard. All in all the MXP4KE9.1A is an excellent choice for safe, reliable transient protection.
