Product details
Overview
MADA3KP10CAE3 from Microsemi is a bidirectional 3000 W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) array in a surface-mount DO-214AB package, designed for high-reliability secondary lightning and ESD protection. It features a 10 V reverse standoff voltage (VWM), 11.1–12.3 V breakdown voltage (V(BR)), 17.0 V maximum clamping voltage at 176.4 A peak pulse current, and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the MADA3KP10CAE3 datasheet, MADA3KP10CAE3 pinout, MADA3KP10CAE3 application, or MADA3KP10CAE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional surge capability, IEC61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 compliance, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and compatibility with 10/1000 µs waveform transients up to 3 kW.
Technical Context
The MADA3KP10CAE3 is a silicon avalanche diode-based TVS array optimized for fast-clamping response (<5 ns) and high-energy transient suppression. Its bidirectional construction enables symmetrical clamping on both polarities, supporting AC-coupled signal lines and ungrounded interfaces without polarity sensitivity.
It meets MIL-PRF-19500 screening options for high-reliability applications and delivers 3000 W peak pulse power at 10/1000 µs with full surge testing per lot. The device exhibits 5 µA max standby current at VWM and is rated for 260 °C soldering per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 10 V - Maximum continuous operating voltage before clamping begins; sets minimum system voltage margin. |
| V(BR) min/max | 11.1–12.3 V @ 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures predictable turn-on under transient stress. |
| VC @ IPP | 17.0 V @ 176.4 A - Clamping voltage during worst-case 10/1000 µs surge; defines protected circuit's maximum overvoltage exposure. |

| TJ range | –55 °C to +150 °C - Extended thermal envelope enabling use in automotive under-hood and industrial motor drive environments. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤5 µA - Low leakage ensures minimal power loss and no interference with high-impedance sensing or bias networks. |
| RoHS | e3 - Matte-tin termination compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMC), void-free thermosetting epoxy body meeting UL94V-0; 5 g typical weight; marked with date code and part number; polarity defined by dot indicating Pin 1 (cathode for unidirectional variants; symmetric terminals for bidirectional MADA3KP10CAE3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ10CA | 600 W PPP rating, SMB package, 17.0 V VC @ 32.4 A IPP - lower energy handling than MADA3KP10CAE3. | Best suited for consumer-grade ESD-only protection; insufficient for IEC61000-4-5 Class 3+ or industrial lightning testing. | Select when cost and board space constrain requirements and surge energy remains below 1 kV/42 Ω. |
| 1.5KE10CA | 1500 W PPP, DO-201 package, 17.0 V VC @ 87.8 A IPP - half the power rating and axial-leaded through-hole mounting. | Requires PCB real estate for axial leads and lacks surface-mount reliability for vibration-prone environments. | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs where rework to SMD is not feasible and 1.5 kW surge margin is acceptable. |
Compared with SMBJ10CA and 1.5KE10CA, the MADA3KP10CAE3 provides double the peak pulse power and DO-214AB SMT robustness, making it the only option qualified for MIL-PRF-19500 screening and certified for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 secondary lightning in compact industrial modules.

FAQ
What does the 'C' suffix in MADA3KP10CAE3 indicate?
The 'C' suffix denotes bidirectional construction, meaning the MADA3KP10CAE3 provides symmetrical clamping for both positive and negative transients across its two terminals. This eliminates polarity concerns during layout and supports AC-coupled interfaces like RS-485, CAN, or Ethernet transformer secondaries without requiring separate devices for each polarity.
Is MADA3KP10CAE3 suitable for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 lightning testing?
Yes, MADA3KP10CAE3 is validated for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 secondary lightning testing with 42 Ω source impedance. Its 3000 W peak pulse power rating and 17.0 V clamping voltage at 176.4 A ensure compliance when used with proper PCB layout-such as short traces, ground plane coupling, and direct connection to protected lines near entry points.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of MADA3KP10CAE3 under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of MADA3KP10CAE3 is 17.0 V at 176.4 A peak pulse current under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and represents the highest voltage the protected circuit will experience during worst-case transient events.
Does MADA3KP10CAE3 require moisture preconditioning before reflow soldering?
No, MADA3KP10CAE3 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it may be stored and processed without dry packing or baking. Its void-free epoxy package and matte-tin plating allow direct placement into standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds without popcorn cracking or delamination risk.
How does the e3 marking on MADA3KP10CAE3 relate to RoHS compliance?
The e3 marking on MADA3KP10CAE3 indicates full compliance with the EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, specifying annealed matte-tin plating instead of traditional tin-lead terminations. This ensures environmental safety and solderability while maintaining compatibility with existing SMT assembly lines and eliminating lead contamination risks in medical and industrial end equipment.
