The MXSMBJ16CAE3 is a Transient Voltage Suppression diode from ON Semiconductor. This diode provides improved capacitance characteristics for Surge Absorption. The MXSMBJ16CAE3 has an avalanche voltage of 16 V with a power dissipation of 300 W and a reverse leakage current of 100 nA.

TVS diodes are used to protect electrical components from transient energy. They provide protection from voltage and current transients by conducting more current than regular diodes during surges. This helps to maintain the components’ safety and ensure longer operational lifetimes. When an overvoltage, overcurrent, or electrostatic discharge event occurs, the TVS diode conducts the energy directed away from the component.

Eventually the heavy current sent into the diode creates a voltage drop across it and the pulse ends. The diode is then reset and is ready to absorb the next surge. TVS diodes are commonly used in many consumer electronics such as cell phones, laptop computers, cameras and gaming consoles, as well as other industries such as medical, automotive and industrial.

The MXSMBJ16CAE3 is used as a surge absorber in Analog Signal Protection and DC Power Supply applications. It can operate in temperatures ranging from -55°C to +150°C and is classified as a “unidirectional” diode, meaning it can pass current and prevent surges in only one direction.

The MXSMBJ16CAE3 is designed with low leakage current, fast response time, and low capacitance, making it a suitable choice for protecting sensitive analog data signals. It is also capable of handling large surge currents of up to 1000 A peak pulse current.

The MXSMBJ16CAE3 works by absorbing a surge of energy sent through it. When the diode is connected in series with a circuit, any large voltage or current spikes will be redirected through the diode and dissipated as heat. This eliminates the damaging effects of the surge energy, allowing the protected circuit to remain functional.

The protection the MXSMBJ16CAE3 provides is essential in potential hazardous situations. Without it, a component in the circuit could be irreparably damaged by a surge of energy. Thus, it is an important device for providing protection to circuits, components, and users from such damaging electricity.
