TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diodes, also referred to as spike suppressors, are solid state devices that protect against electrical overstress due to transient voltages. They provide protection against voltage spikes and are often used to protect sensitive electronic devices such as PCs, televisions, and home appliances from power surges. The MXPLAD36KP160AE3 is a TVS diode which can be used as a surge protector in various fields, such as power circuit, data line, Ethernet, USB interface etc.

General Information

The MXPLAD36KP160AE3 is a unidirectional bi-directional TVS device. It is a surface mount device with a SOD-323 package style and has an operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. It is designed for inductive switching applications, and is ideal for protection against voltage spikes ranging from 5V to 170V. It has a high-energy surge capability of 28A for 8/20 μs, and can withstand multiple and repetitive surges.

Application Fields

The MXPLAD36KP160AE3 TVS diode is widely used in various application fields, mainly for protection against transient voltage surges. Some of the most common applications include protection of microcontrollers, power circuit overstress, data line and Ethernet protection, lightning protection, automotive transients, TVS-DI fuse type application, SMA connector application, and mobile interface protection.

Working Principle

The MXPLAD36KP160AE3 TVS diode works by limiting the excessive voltage on the protected circuit and providing a low impedance path for the transient voltage surge or slew rate. When a surge event occurs, theTVS diode acts as a short circuit between the anode and the cathode, limiting the voltage applied to the protected circuit. During the event, the device is able to absorb energy and “clamp” the voltage to a safe level. After the transient surge has passed, theTVS diode will open and no flow of current will occur.

Conclusion

The MXPLAD36KP160AE3 TVS diode is a useful tool for providing protection against transient voltage surges in various electronic and automotive applications. Its small size, wide operating temperature range, and high surge performance make it an ideal choice for various applications in need of reliable surge protection, such as automotive, industrial, and data line protection.
