MPLAD6.5KP30CAE3 [Microchip]

These 6.5 kW rated transient voltage suppressors (TVS) in a surface mount PLAD package are designed to minimize thermal resistance and cumulative heating. They clamp dangerous high voltage transients such as ESD, radiated RFI, inductive load dumps, and lightning strikes before they reach sensitive components. Typical applications include lightning and automotive load dump protection, meeting RTCA DO-160 standards for aircraft design. The all-metal bottom of the low-profile package provides low thermal impedance, keeping junction temperature low. Stand-off voltages range from 10 to 48 volts in unidirectional or bidirectional versions.
