Detailed Pin Configuration

The MA15KP30AE3 is a unidirectional TVS diode with two leads in a DO-201AD package. The anode is connected to the positive side and the cathode to the negative side.

Functional Features

• Provides surge protection by diverting excess current away from sensitive components
• Fast response time to transient voltage spikes
• Low leakage current for minimal power dissipation

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages: - High power handling capability - Low clamping voltage for effective protection - Wide operating temperature range

Disadvantages: - Unidirectional protection only - Requires external circuitry for bidirectional protection

Working Principles

When a transient voltage spike occurs, the MA15KP30AE3 conducts current to limit the voltage across the protected circuit. This prevents damage to sensitive components by diverting excess energy to ground.

Detailed Application Field Plans

The MA15KP30AE3 is commonly used in electronic equipment such as power supplies, communication systems, and industrial controls to protect against voltage transients induced by lightning, ESD, or switching events.
