Product details
Overview
MXDA3KP30A from Microsemi is a unidirectional 3000 W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) array designed for high-reliability overvoltage protection in power rails and signal lines. It features a 30 V reverse standoff voltage (VWM), 33.3–36.8 V breakdown voltage (V(BR)), 48.4 V maximum clamping voltage at 62 A peak pulse current, and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C. It is used in industrial power supplies for IEC 61000-4-5 secondary lightning surge suppression.
For engineers reviewing the MXDA3KP30A datasheet, MXDA3KP30A pinout, MXDA3KP30A application, or MXDA3KP30A equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, standoff voltage margin relative to system DC rail, thermal derating above 25 °C, and MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening eligibility for aerospace-grade deployments.
Technical Context
The MXDA3KP30A is a single-channel, unidirectional TVS diode optimized for fast clamping of high-energy transients. Its <100 ps response time enables effective ESD (IEC 61000-4-2) and EFT (IEC 61000-4-4) suppression, while its 3000 W peak pulse power rating at 10/1000 µs waveform supports robust secondary lightning protection per IEC 61000-4-5 with 42 Ω, 12 Ω, or 2 Ω source impedances.
It uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy package rated UL94V-0, with tin-lead or matte-tin terminations compliant with MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Polarity is defined by dot marking: Pin 1 is cathode. Standby leakage is ≤2 µA at 30 V, and it undergoes 3σ lot norm screening on ID.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 30 V - Maximum continuous DC or peak AC voltage the device blocks without conduction. |
| V(BR) min/max | 33.3–36.8 V @ 1 mA - Ensures reliable turn-on above operating rail while avoiding false triggering. |
| VC @ IPP | 48.4 V @ 62 A - Clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case 10/1000 µs surge. |
| PPP | 3000 W @ 10/1000 µs - Sustains high-energy surges common in industrial mains and motor drive environments. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤2 µA - Negligible leakage current preserves efficiency in low-power standby modes. |
| TJ/TSTG | –55 °C to +150 °C - Supports operation in extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood applications. |
Pinout & Package
MXDA3KP30A is housed in a surface-mount, 2-pin DO-214AB (SMC) package with void-free UL94V-0 epoxy body, matte-tin or tin-lead terminations, and polarity indicated by a dot marking Pin 1 (cathode).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when clamping threshold exceeded. |
| Pin 2 | Anode | Connected to system ground reference; completes current path during transient event. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3000 W peak pulse power | Enables protection against high-energy lightning-induced surges without degradation in industrial 24/48 V DC systems. |
| Clamping voltage ≤48.4 V | Keeps downstream ICs (e.g., microcontrollers, gate drivers) within safe absolute maximum ratings during 62 A transients. |
| MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening option | Supports qualification for defense/aerospace programs requiring lot traceability, burn-in, and parametric screening. |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and floor-life constraints-enables direct placement after opening sealed tray. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Motor Drive Control Board |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 48 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: Primary overvoltage clamp placed between input rail and ground, responding within <100 ps to limit transient excursions. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or permanent damage to upstream DC-DC controllers and downstream 3.3 V/5 V LDOs during 3 kV/500 A surge events. | Use Scenario: Gate driver supply rail in 3-phase inverter where IGBT switching induces high dV/dt coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS shunting coupled transients from isolated gate supply to chassis ground. Use Value: Maintains gate voltage integrity below ±20 V threshold, preventing spurious IGBT turn-on and shoot-through failure. |
| Telecom Remote Radio Unit | Railway Signaling Interface |
Use Scenario: DC power feed (–48 V) to outdoor RRH unit subjected to induced surges from nearby lightning strikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line transient suppressor on main power entry before DC-DC conversion and PMIC regulation. Use Value: Meets IEC 61000-4-5 Class 4 (42 Ω source) requirements with clamping headroom below 50 V absolute max rating of downstream converters. | Use Scenario: 24 V signaling interface between track-side sensors and centralized control cabinet in EN 50121-4-compliant railway systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional-capable variant not applicable; MXDA3KP30A used as unidirectional clamp on positive rail only. Use Value: Provides repeatable 3000 W surge handling across 100,000+ cycles, validated per MIL-PRF-19500 screening for mission-critical uptime. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ30A | 600 W PPP rating, same VWM and VC, but lower IPP (32.4 A vs. 62 A) | Suitable for lower-energy ESD/EFT-only use; insufficient for IEC 61000-4-5 Class 3/4 lightning testing | Select SMBJ30A only if system-level surge stress is limited to ≤600 W and layout space is constrained. |
| 1.5KE30A | Through-hole TO-218 package, identical electrical specs, higher thermal mass but no SMT compatibility | Used in legacy designs or high-vibration environments where mechanical anchoring outweighs board space savings | Choose 1.5KE30A when rework tolerance, manual assembly, or PCB flex resistance is prioritized over automated SMT throughput. |
Compared with SMBJ30A and 1.5KE30A, MXDA3KP30A delivers 5× higher surge power handling in an SMT package, enabling compact, high-reliability protection for next-generation industrial and transportation electronics without compromising on IEC 61000-4-5 compliance.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of MXDA3KP30A at its rated peak pulse current?
The MXDA3KP30A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 48.4 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPP) of 62 A under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is measured per standard test methods and ensures protected circuits remain within safe operating limits during high-energy transients. The MXDA3KP30A maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is MXDA3KP30A RoHS compliant?
Yes, MXDA3KP30A is RoHS compliant, indicated by the "e3" suffix in its full manufacturer marking. It uses annealed matte-tin plating on terminations and meets lead-free soldering requirements per JEDEC J-STD-020B. The package material is void-free thermosetting epoxy rated UL94V-0, with no restricted substances exceeding RoHS thresholds.
Can MXDA3KP30A be used for bidirectional transient protection?
No, MXDA3KP30A is a unidirectional TVS device, as confirmed by its part number suffix "A" (not "C") and polarity marking: Pin 1 is cathode. For bidirectional protection, Microsemi offers the MXDA3KP30CA variant. Using MXDA3KP30A in reverse-biased configurations risks permanent breakdown and must be avoided in AC-coupled or dual-polarity signal paths.
What is the maximum standoff voltage rating for MXDA3KP30A?
The maximum reverse standoff voltage (VWM) for MXDA3KP30A is 30 V. This is the highest continuous DC or peak AC voltage the device can block without entering conduction. System designers must ensure that the nominal operating voltage-including ripple and tolerance-remains at or below 30 V to prevent premature leakage or thermal runaway. The MXDA3KP30A's V(BR) starts at 33.3 V, providing essential margin.
Does MXDA3KP30A require dry pack storage or special handling before reflow?
No, MXDA3KP30A has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1, meaning it does not require dry pack storage or floor-life tracking. It can be removed from sealed packaging and placed directly into reflow soldering processes without baking. This simplifies manufacturing logistics and reduces risk of moisture-related popcorning during assembly-key for high-yield SMT production of MXDA3KP30A.
