Product details
Overview
MPTE-010 from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional Mosorb Zener transient voltage suppressor in axial leaded Surmetic plastic package (Case 41A), designed to protect sensitive electronics against high-energy transients. It features a 10 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 1500 W peak pulse power (1 ms), clamping voltage of 16.7 V at 90 A peak pulse current, <2 µA leakage at VRWM, and sub-nanosecond response time - deployed in industrial power supplies and medical equipment input stages.
For engineers reviewing the MPTE-010 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, axial package dimensions, clamping behavior under surge conditions, and direct alternatives for overvoltage protection design in DC power rails and signal line interfaces.
Technical Context
The MPTE-010 operates as a Zener-based avalanche diode with precise breakdown voltage control (VBR = 11.7–14.1 V at IT = 1.0 A) and low dynamic impedance, enabling fast clamping during ESD or lightning-induced surges. Its thermal resistance (RJL = 20 °C/W) and steady-state power rating (5.0 W @ TL ≤ 75°C) support reliable operation in convection-cooled industrial environments.
Designed for parallel connection across protected lines, it exhibits <1 ns intrinsic response time and negligible junction capacitance (<100 pF at VRWM), minimizing signal distortion in DC-biased circuits. Polarity is marked by cathode band; mounting position is unrestricted.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 10 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; matches 12 V nominal DC rails with margin. |
| PPK | 1500 W @ 1 ms - handles single high-energy transients like IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges without failure. |
| VC @ IPP | 16.7 V @ 90 A - clamping voltage stays below 17 V during full-rated surge, protecting 15 V logic or analog ICs. |
| VBR | 11.7–14.1 V @ IT = 1.0 A - tight breakdown tolerance ensures predictable turn-on threshold across temperature. |
| IR @ VRWM | <2 µA - ultra-low leakage avoids loading 10 V reference or high-impedance sensor nodes. |
| Response Time | <1 ns - enables suppression before transient energy couples into downstream circuitry. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - qualifies for robust handling in assembly and field-deployed equipment. |
Pinout & Package
MPTE-010 uses axial-leaded Case 41A plastic package (Surmetic), with cathode indicated by a colored band. Leads are tin-plated, solderable at 230°C for 10 seconds at 1/16″ from case. Mounting orientation is unrestricted.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference node | Connected to ground or lowest potential point in protected circuit; defines return path for surge current. |
| Cathode | High-side clamping node | Connected to line being protected (e.g., +12 V rail); conducts avalanche current when voltage exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional clamping | Protects only against positive transients on DC lines - avoids interference with negative-going signals or AC waveforms. |
| 1500 W peak power rating | Sustains IEC 61000-4-5 combination wave surges (2 Ω source impedance, 1.2/50 µs voltage, 8/20 µs current) without degradation. |
| Pb-free axial package (Case 41A) | Complies with RoHS; void-free molded thermoset plastic ensures mechanical stability and moisture resistance in humid environments. |
| Low zener impedance | Maintains stable clamping voltage across 10–90 A surge range - critical for consistent protection in variable-load systems. |
| −65 °C to +175 °C operating range | Validated for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLCs, and medical imaging power supplies with wide ambient swings. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Input Protection | Medical Equipment DC Rail Clamping |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: 12 V DC input stage of programmable logic controller (PLC) power module exposed to load dump and inductive switching noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient voltage suppressor placed directly across input terminals, conducting surge current away from upstream rectifier and downstream regulator ICs. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤16.7 V, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in 15 V-rated MOSFETs and LDOs. |
Use Scenario: +10 V reference supply rail in portable ultrasound front-end, subject to ESD events during probe handling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standby protection device shunting ESD pulses (>16 kV HBM) before they reach precision op-amps and ADC drivers. Use Value: Sub-ns response ensures clamping initiates before 100 ps rise-time ESD transients propagate into analog signal chain. |
| Numerical Control System Signal Line Guarding | Business Machine Power Entry Filtering |
|
Use Scenario: 24 V encoder feedback line in CNC motion controller, vulnerable to back-EMF from servo motor commutation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional protection is not required; MPTE-010 provides cost-effective unidirectional clamping on positive rail side only. Use Value: Withstands repetitive 50 A surges (derated per Figure 1) while maintaining VRWM ≥10 V - preserving signal integrity during normal operation. |
Use Scenario: AC/DC adapter input stage in point-of-sale terminal, subjected to mains-borne surges per IEC 61000-4-4. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line defense after fuse and MOV, absorbing residual high-frequency energy missed by bulk clamping. Use Value: 1500 W rating and low clamping ratio (VC/VRWM ≈ 1.67) reduce stress on downstream Y-capacitors and bridge rectifiers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICTE-10, G | Same VRWM (10 V), identical Case 41A package, same electrical specs per ON Semi datasheet Table 3; differs only in marking code and internal traceability. | No functional difference; ICTE-10 is ON Semiconductor's alternate part number for same die and assembly. | Select ICTE-10, G when sourcing from distributors listing ICTE-series inventory or requiring legacy OEM BOM alignment. |
| 1N6375, G | JEDEC-standardized version of identical device; shares VRWM, VBR, VC, PPK, and package; fully interchangeable per ON Semi ordering table. | Identical use cases; 1N6375, G is preferred where JEDEC-compliant part numbering is mandated in aerospace or defense procurement. | Choose 1N6375, G for compliance-driven programs requiring JEDEC nomenclature, with no performance trade-offs versus MPTE-010. |
Compared with ICTE-10, G and 1N6375, G, the MPTE-010 offers identical clamping performance and thermal behavior but carries ON Semiconductor's proprietary device code - simplifying internal traceability while maintaining full form-fit-function equivalence in industrial and medical designs.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of MPTE-010 at its rated peak pulse current?
The MPTE-010 clamps to 16.7 V at its rated peak pulse current of 90 A (1 ms waveform). This value is measured per Figure 5 in the ON Semiconductor datasheet and reflects the maximum voltage seen across the device during full-rated surge conditions - critical for ensuring downstream 15 V-rated components remain within safe operating limits.
Is MPTE-010 unidirectional or bidirectional, and how is polarity identified?
The MPTE-010 is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor, with cathode indicated by a visible polarity band on the axial package body. This configuration protects only against positive-going transients on the cathode-connected line and must be oriented correctly - cathode to the protected line, anode to ground - to function as specified in the MPTE-010 datasheet.
What package type and dimensions does MPTE-010 use?
The MPTE-010 uses ON Semiconductor's Case 41A axial-leaded plastic package (Surmetic), measuring 8.5–9.5 mm in length (A), 4.8–5.3 mm in diameter (B), with lead diameter uncontrolled per spec. It complies with RoHS and supports soldering at 230°C for 10 seconds at 1/16″ from the case - confirmed in the MPTE-010 mechanical drawings on page 7 of the datasheet.
Does MPTE-010 meet industry ESD standards, and what is its HBM rating?
Yes, the MPTE-010 meets Class 3 Human Body Model (HBM) ESD requirements with a rating exceeding 16 kV. This is explicitly stated in the "Specification Features" section of the ON Semiconductor datasheet and validated through standardized testing - making MPTE-010 suitable for use in medical and industrial equipment where operator-handling ESD immunity is mandatory.
How does MPTE-010 compare to standard TVS diodes like SMAJ10A in terms of surge capability?
The MPTE-010 delivers 1500 W peak pulse power (1 ms), significantly higher than SMAJ10A's 400 W rating. Its axial Case 41A package also provides superior thermal dissipation (RJL = 20 °C/W) versus surface-mount SMA packages, enabling sustained reliability in high-temperature industrial enclosures where the MPTE-010 is routinely deployed.
