The MPLAD15KP16AE3 belongs to the category of transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes. These diodes are commonly used to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes and transients. The MPLAD15KP16AE3 is designed to provide robust protection for a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, industrial equipment, and automotive systems. Its characteristics include high surge capability, low clamping voltage, and fast response time. The package type for the MPLAD15KP16AE3 is a molded epoxy, providing excellent mechanical and moisture resistance. It is available in tape and reel packaging with a quantity of 500 units per reel.
The MPLAD15KP16AE3 features a standard TVS diode pin configuration with two leads. The pinout consists of anode and cathode connections, which are essential for proper installation and functionality within a circuit.
The MPLAD15KP16AE3 operates based on the principle of avalanche breakdown, where it rapidly conducts excess current when the voltage exceeds the breakdown threshold. This effectively diverts the transient energy away from the protected circuit, preventing damage to sensitive components.
The MPLAD15KP16AE3 is well-suited for a variety of applications, including: - Telecommunications infrastructure - Industrial control systems - Automotive electronics - Power supply units - Consumer electronics
Some alternative models to the MPLAD15KP16AE3 include: - MPLAD12KP10AE3: Lower peak pulse power but suitable for less demanding applications - MPLAD20KP24AE3: Higher peak pulse power for more extreme transient conditions - MPLAD15KP16CE3: Similar specifications with a different package type for specific mounting requirements
In conclusion, the MPLAD15KP16AE3 transient voltage suppressor diode offers robust protection, fast response, and versatile application, making it an ideal choice for safeguarding sensitive electronic circuits from voltage transients and spikes.
