TVS - Diodes

Transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes are described as unidirectional, switching, or bidirectional devices. They are also known as overvoltage or surge protection components. The main purpose of these diodes is to protect sensitive circuits and equipment against voltage spikes, which can be caused by lightning or other sources.

The MXPLAD30KP130AE3 diode is a bidirectional TVS diode, which means it can withstand both positive and negative transients. It has a maximum pulse power of 30kW and a maximum repetitive peak voltage of 130V.

Application field

The MXPLAD30KP130AE3 diode is usually used to protect sensitive circuits and equipment from voltage transients, which can be caused by lightning or other sources. It is suitable for industrial, automotive, medical, and consumer electronics applications.

The diode is also suitable for protecting telecommunication and computer circuits from voltage spiking, which can occur during power surge events. With its high surge rating and fast response time, the diode is suitable for most high-frequency applications, including data lines, control lines, and power circuits.

Working principle

The MXPLAD30KP130AE3 diode works by clamping voltage transients to a safe level. When a transient occurs, the diode quickly begins conducting, redirecting the voltage to ground and clamping it to a safe level. This process prevents the voltage from damaging sensitive circuits and equipment.

The diode also has an internal protection circuit, which ensures that it does not become damaged even when it is subjected to a high-voltage surge. This protection circuit slows down the response time to protect the diode from overvoltage damage while still providing surge protection.

The MXPLAD30KP130AE3 is an excellent choice for positive and negative transient voltage protection. With its high surge rating and fast response time, it can withstand most high-voltage transients, providing effective protection for sensitive circuits and equipment.
