Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes offer the ultimate protection for components from high energy pulses and are used in a wide range of electrical and electronic products. The MXPLAD18KP160A is a particularly versatile model as it is suitable for a wide range of operating applications and conditions.

The MXPLAD18KP160A is a three-row device with a metal/oxide/polysilicon structure. It is designed with a breakdown voltage of 18kV, a peak impulse current of 16A, and a repetitive peak off-state voltage of 10kV. The device is able to offer excellent overpressure protection and can handle high pulse currents. It is also highly reliable and has an extremely high surge energy rating.

In terms of application fields, the MXPLAD18KP160A device is suitable for use in a variety of electronic and electrical circuits. It can be used for protection from high voltage transients on circuit boards, bus bars, and power distribution networks. It is also suitable for protecting against power surges on computer components, test equipment, and automotive power systems.

The working principle of the MXPLAD18KP160A is based on the avalanche breakdown. This means that when the voltage reaches the specified breakdown voltage, the current flowing through the device increases rapidly causing the device to undergo avalanche breakdown. This breakdown causes the device to act like an insulator, blocking the passage of current and thus protecting the underlying circuit from the high voltage transients.

Additionally, the MXPLAD18KP160A is designed for low clamping voltage in order to limit the energy that is dissipated from the transient voltage surge. This helps to ensure that the device remains functional during high voltage spikes, protecting against possible equipment damage. Furthermore, the device also includes a radial lead for an easy installation process.

Overall, the MXPLAD18KP160A is an effective and reliable solution for providing protection from high voltage transients and is suitable for use in a wide range of applications. Its metal/oxide/polysilicon structure, low surge energy rating, and low clamping voltage make it an ideal choice for protecting your electronic and electrical components.
