Eaton MTL128

Product Description

The Eaton MTL128 is a shunt diode safety barrier, a component commonly used in electrical systems to protect sensitive equipment from overvoltage conditions. Shunt diodes are designed to provide a low-resistance path for excess current, diverting it away from critical components and preventing damage.  

Product Parameters

• Voltage: Typically rated for specific voltage ranges (e.g., 12V, 24V, etc.)

• Current: Maximum continuous current that the diode can safely handle

• Response time: How quickly the diode reacts to overvoltage conditions

• Package: The physical form factor of the device (e.g., TO-220, surface mount)

• Mounting: How the diode is attached to a circuit board or other component

Product Advantages

• Overvoltage protection: Effectively safeguards sensitive electronics from damage caused by voltage spikes.

• Reliability: Shunt diodes are known for their ruggedness and long service life.

• Compact size: Easy to integrate into various electronic designs.

• Fast response: Quick to react to transient overvoltage events.

• Cost-effective: A relatively inexpensive solution for overvoltage protection.

Precautions and Considerations

• Heat dissipation: Ensure adequate heat sinking to prevent overheating, especially at high currents.

• Reverse polarity protection: While shunt diodes are generally tolerant of reverse polarity, excessive reverse voltage can damage the device.

• Surge current rating: Consider the diode's surge current rating to protect against high-energy transients.

• Mounting orientation: Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for proper mounting to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

Product Applications

• Automotive electronics: Protecting battery-powered systems from voltage spikes.

• Industrial controls: Safeguarding PLC modules and other control components.

• Telecommunications equipment: Protecting sensitive circuitry from power surges.

• Renewable energy systems: Protecting inverters and charge controllers.

• Medical devices: Ensuring the safety of electronic components in medical equipment.

To obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information about the Eaton MTL128, I recommend that you:

• Visit Eaton's official website: Search for the product using the part number.
