Product details
Overview
MADA3KP10AE3 from Microsemi is a unidirectional 3000 W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) array with 10 V standoff voltage (VWM), 11.1–12.3 V breakdown voltage (V(BR)), and 17.0 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 176.4 A peak pulse current (IPP); used for secondary lightning protection per IEC61000-4-5 (42 Ω, Class 1–4) and ESD/EFT suppression in industrial power interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MADA3KP10AE3 datasheet, MADA3KP10AE3 pinout, MADA3KP10AE3 application, or MADA3KP10AE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include standoff voltage matching system DC rail, clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC VMAX, surge current capability under 10/1000 µs waveform, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin termination compatibility with lead-free reflow.
Technical Context
The MADA3KP10AE3 operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode-based TVS, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 11.1 V minimum breakdown threshold. It delivers sub-100 ps response time and clamps transients to ≤17.0 V at 176.4 A, maintaining <5 µA standby current at 10 V.
Designed for high-reliability vertical mounting, it meets MIL-PRF-19500 screening options and sustains 3000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) with derating above 25 °C per Figure 3. Its thermoset epoxy package achieves UL94V-0 flammability rating and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 10 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; must exceed system's peak DC or AC voltage. |
| V(BR) min/max | 11.1–12.3 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA; ensures predictable turn-on across temperature and lot variation. |
| VC @ IPP | 17.0 V @ 176.4 A - Clamped voltage during worst-case 10/1000 µs surge; defines upper bound of stress on downstream circuitry. |
| IPP | 176.4 A - Peak surge current supported at rated clamping voltage; correlates directly to IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 (42 Ω source) capability. |
| TJ/TSTG | −55 to +150 °C - Junction and storage temperature range; enables deployment in extended industrial and aerospace environments. |
| Moisture Sensitivity | Level 1 - No dry pack required prior to assembly; compatible with standard SMT reflow without baking. |
| RoHS | e3 - Matte-tin plating, lead-free, compliant with EU Directive 2011/65/EU. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Vertical-mount, void-free thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0), 5 g weight, dimensions per Page 6 (A=21.03–22.05 mm, B=6.86–7.87 mm, C=8.64–9.65 mm). Pin 1 marked by dot; odd-numbered pins are cathodes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode (TVS1) | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when voltage exceeds V(BR). |
| Pin 2 | Anode (TVS1) | Common anode node tied to system ground; completes low-inductance return path for clamping current. |
| Pin 3 | Cathode (TVS2) | Second independent TVS element; enables dual-line protection (e.g., RS-485 A/B) in single package. |
| Pin 4 | Anode (TVS2) | Shared anode with Pin 2; allows compact layout with single ground plane connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3000 W peak pulse power | Sustains full-rated surge energy under 10/1000 µs waveform-meets IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 with 42 Ω source impedance. |

Applications
| Industrial Motor Drive I/O Protection | Telecom Power Feeds |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting PLC digital input modules from inductive kickback and field-wiring surges in factory automation cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS array clamping transients on 24 V DC sensor lines before they reach optocoupler inputs or microcontroller GPIOs.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on feed lines upstream of DC-DC converters and hot-swap controllers. Use Value: Absorbs 3000 W transients per IEC61000-4-5 (42 Ω, Class 4), maintaining converter input integrity without derating or thermal shutdown. |
| Medical Imaging Power Rails | Renewable Energy Inverter Control Boards |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding analog front-end supplies in MRI and CT scanner subsystems against EFT bursts generated by nearby switching power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response TVS placed at board-level power entry points to shunt nanosecond-scale EFT noise before LDO regulators. Use Value: Sub-100 ps activation suppresses >90% of 5 kHz burst energy (IEC61000-4-4), preserving signal-to-noise ratio in precision ADC references. | Use Scenario: Protecting isolated gate drivers and MCU reset lines on solar inverter control boards exposed to grid-switching transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-element unidirectional TVS guarding both high-side and low-side driver supply rails referenced to common ground. Use Value: Single-package dual-clamp eliminates layout asymmetry, ensuring matched clamping behavior and <1 ns inter-channel skew under simultaneous surges. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ10A | 600 W rating (vs. 3000 W), DO-214AC package, 17.0 V VC @ 32.4 A IPP | Limited to Class 2 IEC61000-4-5 (42 Ω); unsuitable for Class 4 or motor drive inductive load suppression. | Select when space-constrained layouts require smaller footprint and surge requirements are ≤600 W. |
| SMCJ10A | 1500 W rating, DO-214AB package, 17.0 V VC @ 87.8 A IPP, same VWM/V(BR) tolerance | Meets Class 3 (42 Ω) but not Class 4; lower energy handling requires parallel devices for 3000 W systems. | Choose where cost optimization is prioritized and peak surge duty is below 1500 W with verified thermal margin. |
Compared with SMAJ10A and SMCJ10A, the MADA3KP10AE3 delivers 5× and 2× higher peak pulse power respectively in a vertical-mount configuration optimized for high-current ground paths-enabling single-device Class 4 compliance without paralleling or thermal derating compromises.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of MADA3KP10AE3 at its rated peak pulse current?
The MADA3KP10AE3 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 17.0 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPP) of 176.4 A under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is guaranteed across temperature and process variation, and defines the upper voltage stress imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events. The MADA3KP10AE3 maintains this clamping performance without degradation over its specified lifetime when operated within derated power limits above 25 °C.
Is MADA3KP10AE3 RoHS compliant and what does the 'e3' suffix indicate?
Yes, MADA3KP10AE3 is RoHS compliant. The 'e3' suffix denotes matte-tin plating per JEDEC Standard J-STD-020, confirming lead-free terminations and compliance with EU Directive 2011/65/EU. This enables compatibility with lead-free reflow soldering profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, and eliminates hazardous substance reporting requirements for end equipment sold in regulated markets. The MADA3KP10AE3's e3 marking is laser-etched on the package body per Microsemi's traceability protocol.
How does MADA3KP10AE3 differ from bidirectional variants like MADA3KP10CE3?
The MADA3KP10AE3 is unidirectional, conducting only in reverse bias above V(BR), whereas MADA3KP10CE3 is bidirectional with symmetrical clamping in both polarities. This makes MADA3KP10AE3 suitable for DC-coupled lines with defined polarity (e.g., 24 V sensor inputs), while MADA3KP10CE3 targets AC or differential signals (e.g., RS-485). The MADA3KP10AE3's forward surge rating (IFSM = 200 A) supports limited forward conduction during fault conditions-a capability absent in the bidirectional version.
Can MADA3KP10AE3 be used for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 lightning surge protection?
Yes, MADA3KP10AE3 is explicitly rated for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 secondary lightning protection with 42 Ω source impedance, as confirmed in the Applications section of RF01243 Rev B. Its 3000 W peak pulse power and 176.4 A IPP meet the 4 kV open-circuit test level requirement. Successful implementation requires low-inductance PCB layout-short traces to ground, dedicated thermal pads, and avoidance of vias in the clamping path-to preserve the MADA3KP10AE3's sub-100 ps response advantage.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) of MADA3KP10AE3 and why is it critical for selection?
The MADA3KP10AE3 has a rated working standoff voltage (VWM) of 10 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this DC or peak AC voltage across its terminals. Selecting a VWM ≥ the system's maximum normal operating voltage prevents leakage current and false triggering-e.g., for a 24 V DC input, MADA3KP10AE3 is undersized, whereas MADA3KP24AE3 would be appropriate. The MADA3KP10AE3's 10 V VWM makes it ideal for protecting 5 V, 9 V, or 12 V logic rails where tight clamping margin is essential.
