MXP5KE130AE3

MXP5KE130AE3 is a TVS - Diodes that can be used in wide range of applications. It is designed to be used as a transient voltage suppressor - both AC and DC. It is a dual-disk component and works by clamped voltage. Specifically, it is used to limit the transients caused by electrostatic discharges or power surges and protect electrical or electronic parts, circuit boards, etc. It helps in preventing destructions from electrical overvoltage.

MXP5KE130AE3 consists of two Si disks and a zener diode network in order to suppress conditions from lightening, inductive switching, and even power surges in power lines. It is a surface mountable media component that is temperature-compensated and provides us with enhanced circuit protection.

MXP5KE130AE3 has a working range from 5V to 130V of clamp voltage, ± 40.0V of Maximum Working Voltage (DC), and can handle an operating temperature from -55°C to 150°C. It can deliver surge pulse as high as 26A (8/20μs).

MXP5KE130AE3 can be seen as a combination of several components in order to provide such protection, namely:

• Arc suppression ensures proactive running of circuits and prevents false triggering
• Bi-directional function offers two-way protection from external interference
• Coupling diode ensures protection of microprocessors and circuit breakers
• Burn-in process prepares the device for long term reliability
• Surge capability helps to absorb high-surge pulses
• Fused Zener network provides additional protection

Working Principle:MXP5KE130AE3 begins operating when the voltage across it reaches a given amount of threshold. At this point, the component will start clamping the voltage efficiently and protect the circuits from any possible overvoltage.

The initial voltage clamping will be based on the Zener diodes as they will begin clamping when the voltage exceeds the Vz level. After that, the Si disks will become active and start allowing more current with increasing voltage across them. The maximum amount of current allowed as the voltage increase is determined by the breakdown voltage of the Si disk. Ultimately, this current limit will let the Zener diode protecting the component from any further destruction.

Conclusion:MXP5KE130AE3 is one of the most technologically advanced TVS-Diodes available in the market. It provides protection from electrostatic discharges or power surges. It is adual-disk component and works based on clamped voltage. It is designed to be used in a wide range of applications and provides greater reliability with the help of fused Zener network.
