Packaging & ESD

Industry-standard static shielding packaging is used for electronic components.Anti-static, light-transparent materials allow easy identification of ICs and PCB assemblies.
The packaging structure provides electrostatic protection based on Faraday cage principles.This helps protect sensitive components from static discharge during handling and transportation.


All products are packed in ESD-safe anti-static packaging. Outer packaging labels include part number, brand, and quantity for clear identification. Goods are inspected prior to shipment to ensure proper condition and authenticity.

ESD protection is maintained throughout packing, handling, and global transportation. Secure packaging provides reliable sealing and resistance during transit. Additional cushioning materials are applied when required to protect sensitive components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can MX5KP60AE3 be used on a 48 V industrial DC bus without false clamping during normal operation?
MX5KP60AE3 can fit a 48 V rail only if the real worst-case steady-state voltage, including regulation tolerance, surge overlap, and temperature effects, stays below its 60 V reverse standoff level. In practice, engineers usually check the maximum continuous bus voltage first; if that can approach or exceed 60 V, MX5KP60AE3 may begin conducting during normal events and create heating or nuisance protection. For 48 V systems with wide tolerance or charging spikes, a part with a higher standoff voltage or a coordinated upstream limiter is often a better fit.
Is MX5KP60AE3 suitable for protecting sensitive downstream ICs that can only tolerate a low clamp voltage?
MX5KP60AE3 clamps up to 96.8 V at its rated pulse current, so it is better matched to loads that can survive a relatively high transient let-through voltage or that already have additional local protection. If the protected IC has a much lower absolute maximum input rating, MX5KP60AE3 alone may not be enough. In that case, designers often combine MX5KP60AE3 with series impedance, a second-stage TVS, or a DC/DC front end that can tolerate the transient envelope.
How do I decide whether MX5KP60AE3 is appropriate for inductive loads, relays, or long cable transients?
MX5KP60AE3 can absorb large surge energy, but the real design question is whether the transient waveform and source impedance match the device’s 10/1000 µs rating. For relay coils, motors, or long harnesses, the surge can be longer or more repetitive than a classic TVS test pulse. MX5KP60AE3 is usually chosen when the event is a short, high-energy spike; if the waveform is repetitive or sustained, additional snubbing, flyback, or current limiting is typically needed.
Can MX5KP60AE3 be used in place of a smaller TVS diode if the board space stays the same?
MX5KP60AE3 is a through-hole DO-204AR axial device in Case 5A, so the package style and lead geometry need to match the PCB footprint and mounting strategy. It can replace another axial high-power TVS only if the footprint, lead spacing, and assembly process are compatible. If the previous part was an SMD TVS, the electrical substitution may be possible, but the mechanical and thermal behavior will be different, so the board land pattern and service strategy should be reviewed.
What should I check before replacing another 60 V TVS with MX5KP60AE3?
When replacing a similar 60 V TVS with MX5KP60AE3, compare more than just the standoff voltage. Check the clamping voltage at surge current, peak pulse current rating, package thermal mass, and whether the original design depended on a lower dynamic resistance part. Two 60 V TVS devices can behave differently under the same surge, so a replacement is safest when the transient waveform, downstream tolerance, and PCB thermal path all remain within margin. MX5KP60AE3 should also be verified against any certification or military screening requirements in the original design.
Is MX5KP60AE3 a good choice for reverse-polarity or AC line protection?
MX5KP60AE3 is a unidirectional TVS diode, so it is not intended as a standalone solution for AC line protection or true bidirectional suppression. For reverse-polarity scenarios, it can be used in some front-end topologies, but only when the circuit architecture prevents continuous forward conduction and the fuse or series element is coordinated correctly. For AC or symmetrical surge paths, a bidirectional TVS or a different protection network is usually more appropriate.
How does MX5KP60AE3 behave in high-reliability or long-life industrial equipment?
MX5KP60AE3 is a military-grade, MIL-PRF-19500-qualified device with a wide operating junction temperature range, which makes it a reasonable candidate for harsh environments. Long-life reliability still depends on how often it is forced into avalanche, the surge energy per event, and the PCB’s ability to remove heat after each transient. In industrial cabinets, repeated near-limit surges can age the device even when the average load seems low, so engineers often derate the operating environment and validate it with real surge profiles rather than only the datasheet pulse.
If I need a lower-profile or surface-mount alternative to MX5KP60AE3, what trade-offs should I expect?
Replacing MX5KP60AE3 with a surface-mount TVS can reduce assembly height and improve automated placement, but the electrical and thermal trade-offs are not identical. Many SMD parts with similar standoff voltage have different surge ratings, different clamping behavior, and less thermal mass than the axial DO-204AR package. If the design depends on the 5 kW class surge absorption of MX5KP60AE3, the alternative should be checked for equivalent pulse handling, footprint copper area, and board-level heat dissipation before the migration is approved.
