TVS - Diodes

A transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode is an electronic component designed to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes, also known as transient voltages. TVS diodes are also known as "transorbs" or "crowbar diodes". In some cases, characteristics of both TVS and zener diodes may be combined in the same circuit for additional protection.

The MXPLAD30KP100CA is a transient voltage suppression diode typically used in circuits that require protection from high-voltage transients. This diode is designed for applications with transient voltages up to 5,000 volts peak (Vp) and up to 10,000 Volts basic insulation level (BIV).

The MXPLAD30KP100CA is an excellent choice for suppressing voltage transients in telecommunication circuits and electronic devices. It can also be used for protection against lightning, electrical surges and switching transients. Its fast response time also makes it suitable for high-speed data communications applications.

The MXPLDA30KP100CA is a two-terminal device, which means it has two leads that must be connected to an external circuit. It is designed to operate as a shunt, which means it is placed in parallel across the two points of a circuit. This allows the diode to divert high voltage transient surges away from the sensitive components in the circuit.

When a high-voltage transient surge occurs, the diode’s “breakdown” voltage threshold is exceeded and the connection between the two terminals is broken. This causes a current to flow through the diode and into the ground, thereby protecting the other components in the circuit. When the surge has passed, the diode is reset and the circuit is ready for normal operation.

The MXPLAD30KP100CA is ideal for protecting sensitive electronic components, such as microprocessors, sensors, and other types of digital circuits, from damaging voltage spikes. It is also a reliable protection device in the areas of automotive, military, and aerospace technology.

In conclusion, the MXPLAD30KP100CA is an excellent choice for protection against transient voltage surges. Its fast response time and high breakdown voltage make it suitable for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, its two-terminal design makes it easy to install and makes it compatible with most existing circuit designs.
