Product details
Overview
MXLDA3KP30AE3 from Microsemi is a unidirectional 3000 W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) array with 30 V standoff voltage (VWM), 33.3–36.8 V breakdown voltage (V(BR)), and 48.4 V clamping voltage (VC) at 62 A peak pulse current. It delivers IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5-compliant ESD, EFT, and secondary lightning protection for industrial power supplies and telecom interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MXLDA3KP30AE3 datasheet, MXLDA3KP30AE3 pinout, MXLDA3KP30AE3 application, or MXLDA3KP30AE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30 V VWM rating, 48.4 V VC clamping performance at 62 A, RoHS-compliant e3 marking, and MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening capability for high-reliability deployments.
Technical Context
The MXLDA3KP30AE3 operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode-based TVS, designed to clamp transients within <100 ps response time. Its 3000 W peak pulse power rating is specified at 10/1000 µs waveform with ≤0.05% duty factor, and it maintains stable clamping under junction temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C.
It features a void-free UL94V-0 thermosetting epoxy package with tin-lead or matte-tin terminations, polarity defined by dot-marked Pin 1, and odd-numbered pins assigned as cathodes. Standby leakage ID is ≤2 µA at 30 V VWM, and forward surge current rating is 200 A at 8.3 ms half-sine.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 30 V - Maximum continuous DC or peak AC operating voltage before clamping initiates |
| V(BR) min/max | 33.3–36.8 V @ 1 mA - Ensures reliable avalanche conduction onset across process variation |
| VC @ IPP | 48.4 V @ 62 A - Clamping voltage during full-rated 10/1000 µs transient, limiting downstream stress |
| PPP | 3000 W @ 10/1000 µs - Peak transient energy absorption capacity under standard surge test condition |
| ID @ VWM | ≤2 µA - Ultra-low leakage preserves system standby power integrity in battery-backed or low-power circuits |
| TJ/TSTG | –55 to +150 °C - Enables deployment in extended-temperature industrial, aerospace, and outdoor equipment |
| e3 Marking | RoHS-compliant - Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU for lead-free assembly compatibility |
Pinout & Package
MXLDA3KP30AE3 uses a 3-pin TO-277A (SMB) surface-mount package with void-free UL94V-0 epoxy body, matte-tin or tin-lead terminations, and polarity indicated by a dot adjacent to Pin 1. Odd-numbered pins are cathodes per device configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode of Channel 1 | Primary clamping node for first protected line; connects to protected circuit side |
| Pin 2 | Anode Common | Shared anode reference for all channels; ties to system ground or return path |
| Pin 3 | Cathode of Channel 2 | Second clamping node for differential or dual-line protection; enables bidirectional layout symmetry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3000 W peak pulse power | Withstands severe IEC 61000-4-5 Class 4 surges (42 Ω source) without degradation |
| 48.4 V clamping at 62 A | Keeps protected ICs below absolute maximum ratings during 10/1000 µs transients |
| ≤2 µA standby leakage | Minimizes quiescent current draw in always-on monitoring or sensor nodes |
| MIL-PRF-19500 screening option | Supports high-reliability qualification for defense, avionics, and critical infrastructure |
| UL94V-0 epoxy package | Provides flame-retardant mechanical robustness and moisture resistance (IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ30A | 600 W PPP rating, 48.4 V VC @ 12.3 A IPP, DO-214AC package | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Class 4 | Select SMAJ30A only for cost-sensitive consumer-grade designs with <1 kV surge exposure. |
| SMCJ30A | 1500 W PPP rating, 48.4 V VC @ 31 A IPP, DO-214AB package | Half the peak power handling; requires derating above 85 °C ambient | Choose SMCJ30A where board space permits larger footprint and thermal mass compensates for lower PPP. |
Compared with SMAJ30A and SMCJ30A, MXLDA3KP30AE3 provides double the surge energy margin (3000 W vs. 1500/600 W), enabling single-device compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Class 4 at 42 Ω source impedance without parallel staging or thermal compromise.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of MXLDA3KP30AE3 at its rated peak pulse current?
The MXLDA3KP30AE3 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 48.4 V at 62 A peak pulse current (IPP), measured under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value ensures protected circuitry remains within safe operating limits during worst-case surge events, and is verified per Figure 2 in the official RF01243 datasheet.
Is MXLDA3KP30AE3 RoHS compliant and what does the 'e3' suffix indicate?
Yes, MXLDA3KP30AE3 is RoHS compliant. The 'e3' suffix explicitly denotes conformance to EU Directive 2011/65/EU, indicating matte-tin termination plating and absence of restricted substances including lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE. This enables compatibility with lead-free reflow processes.
How does MXLDA3KP30AE3 differ from bidirectional variants like MXLDA3KP30CE3?
MXLDA3KP30AE3 is unidirectional, with cathode-anode polarity across Pins 1–2 and 3–2, intended for DC rail protection. MXLDA3KP30CE3 is bidirectional, symmetrically clamping both polarities, and used in AC or differential signal lines. Their VWM, V(BR), and VC values differ accordingly-MXLDA3KP30AE3 specifies 30 V VWM, while the 'C' version has 30 V VWM but different breakdown symmetry.
Can MXLDA3KP30AE3 be used for IEC 61000-4-5 secondary lightning protection?
Yes, MXLDA3KP30AE3 is qualified for IEC 61000-4-5 secondary lightning protection up to Class 4 with 42 Ω source impedance, and Class 3 with 12 Ω or 2 Ω sources. Its 3000 W peak pulse power rating and 48.4 V clamping voltage meet the voltage-limiting requirements for protected ports in industrial and telecom infrastructure equipment.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for MXLDA3KP30AE3?
MXLDA3KP30AE3 supports a junction and storage temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C. This extended range allows deployment in harsh environments such as engine compartments, outdoor base stations, and industrial enclosures without thermal derating below its full 3000 W rating until above 85 °C ambient, per Figure 3 derating curve.
