Diodes Incorporated P4SMAJ13ADF-13 TVS Diode

The P4SMAJ13ADF-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a robust transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes and transients induced by lightning and other transient voltage events. This TVS diode is an essential component for safeguarding circuits in a wide range of applications, including consumer electronics, automotive systems, industrial equipment, and communication infrastructure.

Key Features

• Stand-Off Voltage: The device features a stand-off voltage of 13V, which allows it to remain non-conductive in normal operating conditions until a voltage spike occurs.
• Peak Pulse Power: It can handle a peak pulse power dissipation of 400 Watts (@10/1000μs waveform), ensuring reliable protection against high energy transients.
• Clamping Voltage: With a clamping voltage of 21.5V, the P4SMAJ13ADF-13 quickly responds to overvoltage events, clamping them to a safe level to protect the downstream circuitry.
• Low Leakage Current: The device exhibits low leakage current, which minimizes power loss when the diode is in standby mode, enhancing the overall efficiency of the system it protects.
• Fast Response Time: The TVS diode is designed for fast response to transient events, providing immediate protection upon detection of a voltage surge.
• DO-214AC (SMA) Package: Encased in a compact DO-214AC (SMA) package, the P4SMAJ13ADF-13 is suitable for high-density PCB layouts and is easy to integrate into a variety of designs.
• RoHS Compliant: This product is RoHS compliant, meeting environmental standards by avoiding the use of hazardous substances.
