MAX16128UAACAC+

Overview

The MAX16128UAACAC+ is a board-mount surge protector designed for load-dump and reverse-voltage protection. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 30V DC and features a low supply current of 400µA. The component supports a maximum capacitance of 10µF and functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +125°C. Housed in an 8-pin UMAX surface-mount package, it provides robust circuit protection for sensitive electronics against transient voltage events.

Feature Summary

• Integrated load-dump and reverse-voltage protection circuitry
• Low quiescent current consumption for power efficiency
• Extended industrial and automotive temperature rating
• Compact surface-mount packaging for space-constrained designs

Applications

• Automotive electronic systems
• Avionics equipment
• Industrial control units
• Telecommunications infrastructure
• Server and networking hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., +T) to confirm tape-and-reel versus tube packaging requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure the selected variant matches the required operating temperature range and supply voltage specifications for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dedicated load-dump and reverse polarity protection is required for 3V to 30V systems. Consider the 8-UMAX package size for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate the 400µA supply current against system power budgets. Verify compatibility with external capacitance limits up to 10µF for optimal transient response performance.
