Category: Diode
Use: Surge protection
Characteristics: High power handling, low clamping voltage
Package: TO-220AB
Essence: Protects electronic circuits from voltage surges
Packaging/Quantity: Bulk packaging, quantity varies
The MAPLAD18KP40CA is a diode with a TO-220AB package, featuring three pins: 1. Anode 2. Cathode 3. Thermal pad
Advantages: - High power handling capacity - Low clamping voltage - RoHS compliant
Disadvantages: - Relatively high operating temperature range
The MAPLAD18KP40CA operates by diverting excess electrical energy away from sensitive electronic components during voltage surges. When the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, the diode conducts, providing a low impedance path for the surge current.
This surge protection diode is commonly used in various applications including: - Power supplies - Telecommunication equipment - Industrial control systems - Automotive electronics
Some alternative models to the MAPLAD18KP40CA include: - STMicroelectronics SM6T series - Vishay 1.5SMC series - Littelfuse P6KE series
