MXPLAD18KP130A

TVS - Diodes is an important series of electrical components used in various applications to protect sensitive devices from unexpected voltage transients, surges and spikes. The MXPLAD18KP130A is a special type of TVS diode designed to protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other voltage transients. It is widely used in the fields of commercial, industrial and consumer electronics.

The primary working principle of MXPLAD18KP130A is to absorb electric current and voltage without any mechanical or electrical wear. They limit the rise in voltage and reduce levels of current by shunting the damaging current away from sensitive devices to ground.

The MXPLAD18KP130A is designed specifically to protect data lines such as Ethernet, USB, and HDMI cables. It is constructed with a lead frame and 15.8 kV ESD protection, low leakage current, and ultra-low capacitance to save PCB space and reduce cost.

The device also protects against lightning, electrostatic discharge, and power surges. It uses a low-capacitance structure, which ensures a low capacitance, allowing ESD protection up to 23 kV without degrading signal performance. In addition, its low-capacitance structure helps to eliminate crosstalk and prevent damage to sensitive parts.

MXPLAD18KP130A has a maximum operating voltage of 130V and a maximum reverse leakage current of 10μA. It also has a peak pulse current handling capability of 4.5A and a working temperature range of -55°C to +110°C. This wide temperature range makes the device suitable for applications in both hot and cold climates.

The device is also equipped with a surge current protection of 182A (8/20μs waveform). This prevents surges in current from passing through by diverting them away from sensitive components. As a result, it is ideal for outdoor applications, such as lightning protection system.

Lastly, MXPLAD18KP130A is designed with anti-reflection protection to avoid breakdown under reverse bias conditions. This is done by limiting the amplitude of the reflected voltage signal, resulting in a higher break-down voltage. This ensures that the device will not be damaged due to the application of a reverse voltage.

In summary, the MXPLAD18KP130A is a versatile TVS diode that is designed to protect sensitive components against ESD, electrical transients, lightning, power surges and other conditions. It is widely used in commercial, industrial and consumer electronics fields due to its reliable performance, wide voltage and temperature range, and efficient protection techniques.
