Product details
Overview
MXLDA3KP6.0CA from Microsemi is a bidirectional 3000 W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) array designed for secondary lightning and ESD/EFT protection in high-reliability systems. It features a 6.0 V reverse standoff voltage (VWM), 6.67–7.37 V breakdown voltage (V(BR)), 10.3 V maximum clamping voltage at 291.3 A peak pulse current, and operates from –55 °C to +150 °C.
For engineers reviewing the MXLDA3KP6.0CA datasheet, MXLDA3KP6.0CA pinout, MXLDA3KP6.0CA application, or MXLDA3KP6.0CA equivalent, this device is selected for IEC 61000-4-5 Class 4 secondary lightning protection with 12 Ω source impedance, ESD immunity per IEC 61000-4-2, and high-energy surge suppression in telecom power interfaces and industrial control inputs.
Technical Context
The MXLDA3KP6.0CA is a bidirectional TVS diode array built using silicon avalanche technology, delivering sub-nanosecond response (<5 ns) to transients. Its clamping behavior is defined at 10/1000 μs waveform with 3000 W peak pulse power rating and 10.3 V VC at IPP = 291.3 A.
It supports MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening options and complies with RoHS (e3 marking). Polarity is defined by odd-numbered pins as cathodes, and it uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy package rated UL94V-0 with tin-lead or matte-tin terminations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 6.0 V - Maximum continuous operating voltage before clamping begins; matches 5 V rail systems with margin. |
| V(BR) min/max | 6.67–7.37 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 10 mA; ensures predictable turn-on under overvoltage. |
| VC @ IPP | 10.3 V at 291.3 A - Clamping voltage during 10/1000 μs surge; limits downstream voltage stress to safe levels. |
| PPP | 3000 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; sustains high-energy surges without failure. |
| TJ/TSTG | –55 °C to +150 °C - Extended thermal range enables use in harsh environments including automotive under-hood and industrial enclosures. |
| ID @ VWM | 1000 μA - Low leakage at standoff voltage; minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed circuits. |
| Response time | <5 ns - Enables effective suppression of ESD (IEC 61000-4-2) and fast EFT bursts (IEC 61000-4-4). |

Applications
| Telecom Power Input Protection | Industrial PLC Digital I/O |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects 48 V DC power feeds in central office equipment from induced lightning surges and load dump events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS array clamps common-mode transients between power and ground while maintaining low leakage. Use Value: Limits clamped voltage to ≤10.3 V during 291.3 A surges, preventing damage to upstream DC-DC converters and monitoring ICs. | Use Scenario: Shields 24 V digital input modules from EFT bursts and relay coil flyback in factory automation cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response TVS shunts transient energy before it reaches optocoupler input stages or microcontroller GPIOs. Use Value: Sub-5 ns response and 10.3 V clamping ensure logic-level integrity remains intact during repetitive 5 kHz EFT testing per IEC 61000-4-4. |
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Medical Diagnostic Equipment Interface |
Use Scenario: Guards LIN bus and sensor supply lines in BCMs against battery reverse connection and jump-start transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping protects both positive and negative excursions on unidirectional supply rails. Use Value: Withstands 3000 W surges at –40 °C to +125 °C ambient, meeting AEC-Q200 stress requirements for under-hood placement. | Use Scenario: Safeguards RS-485 and USB ports on imaging devices from ESD events during clinical handling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS array placed at connector entry point diverts >15 kV contact ESD (IEC 61000-4-2) away from PHY ICs. Use Value: 1000 μA max ID at 6.0 V VWM avoids interference with low-power USB suspend states and diagnostic signal fidelity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ6.0CA | 600 W PPP rating, 10.3 V VC at 53.3 A IPP; smaller SMB package; no MIL-PRF-19500 screening option. | Lower energy handling; suitable for consumer-grade ESD-only protection, not secondary lightning. | Select when cost, board space, or volume production outweighs high-reliability surge demands. |
| SMCJ6.0CA | 1500 W PPP rating, 10.3 V VC at 146.5 A IPP; SMC package; RoHS-compliant but no upscreening path. | Mid-tier surge capacity; fits designs needing more than SMBJ but less than MDA-class robustness. | Choose for industrial controls where 3000 W is excessive but 600 W is insufficient for field-deployed units. |
Compared with SMBJ6.0CA and SMCJ6.0CA, the MXLDA3KP6.0CA delivers double the pulse power of SMCJ6.0CA and five times that of SMBJ6.0CA, enabling reliable Class 4 secondary lightning protection per IEC 61000-4-5 with 12 Ω source impedance-critical for telecom infrastructure and military-grade electronics.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of MXLDA3KP6.0CA at its rated peak pulse current?
The MXLDA3KP6.0CA has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 10.3 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPP) of 291.3 A under 10/1000 μs waveform conditions. This value is measured per standard test methods and guarantees predictable overvoltage limiting during surge events, making MXLDA3KP6.0CA suitable for protecting sensitive 5 V or 3.3 V logic interfaces downstream of the protection point.
Is MXLDA3KP6.0CA bidirectional or unidirectional?
MXLDA3KP6.0CA is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor, indicated by the "C" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. It provides symmetrical clamping for both positive and negative transients, making it ideal for AC-coupled lines, differential buses like RS-485, and applications where polarity reversal or floating grounds are present-unlike unidirectional variants such as MDA3KP6.0A.
Does MXLDA3KP6.0CA meet IEC 61000-4-5 Class 4 requirements?
Yes, MXLDA3KP6.0CA is explicitly rated for IEC 61000-4-5 Class 4 secondary lightning protection when tested with a 12 Ω source impedance, as confirmed in the RF01243 datasheet. Its 3000 W peak pulse power and 10.3 V clamping performance ensure compliance under this demanding test condition, distinguishing it from lower-rated alternatives that only support Class 1–3.
What package type and mounting method does MXLDA3KP6.0CA use?
MXLDA3KP6.0CA uses a surface-mount, void-free thermosetting epoxy package compliant with UL94V-0 flammability rating. It is designed for reflow soldering with a maximum solder temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds. Pin 1 is marked by a dot on the top surface, and odd-numbered pins serve as cathodes-enabling straightforward layout and automated assembly without polarity ambiguity.
Can MXLDA3KP6.0CA be used in automotive applications?
Yes, MXLDA3KP6.0CA is qualified for automotive use in body control modules and sensor interfaces due to its –55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature range, MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening capability, and robust 3000 W surge handling. While not AEC-Q200 certified out-of-box, its thermal and reliability profile supports qualification-ready designs for under-hood and chassis-mounted electronics where transient immunity is critical.
