TVS (transient voltage suppressors) diodes, also known as surge suppressors, are devices that help protect other electrical components from damage due to voltage surges. This includes protection from over-voltage, under-voltage, electrostatic discharge and transient over-voltage. The MXSMLJ8.5CAE3 is a 500 Watt highly reliable TVS diode ideal for protecting consumer electronic components from over-voltage. It is designed to offer complementary over-voltage performance when used with metal oxide varistors (MOVs).

Application Field of MXSMLJ8.5CAE3

The MXSMLJ8.5CAE3 surge protection diode is ideal for over-voltage protection in consumer electronics and other applications that may be subject to transient over-voltage like power supplies, computer motherboards, data link modules, Ethernet ports and other electronic circuits. It is specially designed for combating transient over-voltage like ground faults, lightning and switching transients.

The MXSMLJ8.5CAE3 is a radial leaded, RoHS compliant TVS diode with glass encapsulation and an operating voltage of 500 V. It has a clamping voltage of 8.5 V. The diode offers fast response time and the minuter over-voltage response increases the reliability of the system. It also features low capacitance and limited peak power dissipation, making it an excellent choice for high-performance applications. The surge protector is also certified to withstand frequent transients, such as ESD (electrostatic discharge), without undue stress.

Working Principle of MXSMLJ8.5CAE3

The MXSMLJ8.5CAE3 works by clipping the voltage peak and diverting some of the surge energy to a safe path. The diode can be used both as a single component and in multiple diode configurations to provide increased surge protection. It can be used as a single component on a printed circuit board (PCB) and can be connected to positive, negative or both power lines to provide protection.

The surge suppression diode is designed from a silicon-based material and has an internal structure comprising a P-region, an N-region and a junction between the two. It has an anode and a cathode. When a transient over-voltage occurs, the P-region and N-region switch rapidly and the diode can no longer conduct current. The MXSMLJ8.5CAE3 has a breakdown voltage of 8.5V, which limits the voltage that can be passed through it, preventing further damage to the load.

When setting up the surge suppressor, the diode should be placed as close as possible to the load. It should be connected in series with the load to prevent it from receiving direct current (DC), as a direct current could damage both the load and the protection diode.

In summary, the MXSMLJ8.5CAE3 is a 500W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect consumer electronics from transient over-voltage. It works by clipping the voltage peak and diverting excess energy to a safe path. The diode may be placed in series with the load for maximum protection and should be placed as close as possible to the load to ensure efficient operation. As a result, the MXSMLJ8.5CAE3 offers reliable protection from over-voltage for consumer electronics.
