MXPLAD18KP200AE3

TVS - Diodes are a form of transient voltage suppressor used to protect electronic devices and components from electrical surges. The MXPLAD18KP200AE3 is a type of TVS - Diode that is designed specifically for automotive applications. It is a Bi - Directional, symmetrical diode, which provides superior protection against transients and ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) events.

The MXPLAD18KP200AE3 is suitable for a wide range of automotive applications, such as airbags, ABS systems, ECU\'s and other sensitive applications. It is also suitable for reverse batteries, as it has built-in reverse bias protection. Its low capacitance ensures minimal signal or power loss during operation, while its high surge capacity makes it ideal for automotive power systems.

The MXPLAD18KP200AE3\'s working principle is relatively simple. It contains two parts: a metal oxide varistor and a diode. The metal oxide varistor acts as a resistor and limits the voltage to a predetermined level and the diode serves as a filter and removes any large voltage spikes. When the voltage reaches the maximum level, the varistor will saturate and become a low value resistor, allowing the diode to shunt the surge current away from the components.

The MXPLAD18KP200AE3 is a robust device that offers excellent protection against transients and ESD events. It is designed to work with a wide range of automotive applications, has low capacitance for minimal signal loss, and a high surge capacity for protection. Its simple working principle makes it easy for engineers to identify the protection requirements and enable them to design robust automotive applications.

In conclusion, the MXPLAD18KP200AE3 is an ideal choice for automotive applications as it is suitable for a wide range of applications, has high surge capacity and low capacitance and provides excellent protection against transients and ESD events. Its simple working principle makes it easy for engineers to identify the protection requirements for automotive applications.
