Diodes Incorporated SMBJ15CA-13-F TVS Diode

The SMBJ15CA-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a high-quality, robust Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system inductance, lightning, and other transient voltage events. This product is a bidirectional TVS diode, meaning it can provide protection in both forward and reverse directions, making it an ideal choice for AC applications or where the polarity is uncertain.

Key Features

• Standoff Voltage: The SMBJ15CA-13-F has a standoff voltage of 15 volts, which is the maximum voltage that can be applied while maintaining the diode in a non-conductive state.
• Peak Pulse Power: It offers a peak pulse power dissipation of 600 Watts for 10/1000μs waveform, ensuring reliable protection against high energy transients.
• Clamping Voltage: In the event of a voltage spike, the clamping voltage is a critical parameter, and this diode clamps at 24.4 volts, providing a quick and effective response to transients.
• Low Leakage Current: It features a low leakage current, minimizing the power loss when the diode is in standby mode and enhancing the overall efficiency of the application it is protecting.
• Fast Response Time: The device responds to over-voltage events in less than 1 picosecond, offering immediate protection for your sensitive circuits.
• Package: The SMBJ15CA-13-F comes in a DO-214AA package, also known as an SMB package, which is compact and suitable for automated assembly processes.
• RoHS Compliant: This product is compliant with RoHS standards, ensuring that it is free from hazardous substances and suitable for use in green applications.
