Diodes Incorporated SMAJ36CAQ-13-F Product Overview

The SMAJ36CAQ-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a robust transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes and transients. This device is part of the SMAJ series, which is known for its high reliability and performance in a compact SMA package. The SMAJ36CAQ-13-F is specifically engineered to safeguard circuits against the detrimental effects of voltage surges that can occur due to lightning strikes, load switch, or the inductive discharge of motors.

Key Features and Benefits

• Transient Protection: The SMAJ36CAQ-13-F can clamp transient voltages and dissipate high surge currents, ensuring the safety of the connected components.
• Bi-directional Design: As a bi-directional TVS diode, it provides symmetrical protection for both positive and negative voltage transients, making it versatile for different circuit configurations.
• Stand-off Voltage: This device features a stand-off voltage of 36V, which allows it to remain non-conductive under normal operating conditions until a voltage spike occurs.
• High Surge Capability: With its excellent surge capability, the SMAJ36CAQ-13-F can handle large transient power surges without compromising its integrity or performance.
• Low Leakage Current: It has a low leakage current, minimizing power loss and ensuring energy efficiency when the diode is in its stand-by state.
• ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 Certified: Manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, a company certified with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, ensuring high standards of quality and environmental management.
• RoHS Compliant: The SMAJ36CAQ-13-F is RoHS compliant, adhering to environmental regulations by avoiding the use of hazardous substances.
