SMCJ14A-13-F TVS Diode by Diodes Incorporated

The SMCJ14A-13-F is a robust transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed by Diodes Incorporated to provide high-quality surge and electrostatic discharge protection in electronic circuits. This TVS diode is engineered to shield sensitive semiconductor components from voltage transients induced by system-level events such as load dump, lightning, and the switching of inductive loads.

Key Features:

• Stand-Off Voltage: The device has a stand-off voltage of 14V, which determines the maximum voltage the diode can withstand without conducting in its off state.
• Peak Pulse Power: It offers a peak pulse power dissipation of 1500 Watts at 10/1000µs waveform, ensuring excellent protection against high energy transients.
• Clamping Voltage: With a clamping voltage of 23.2V, the SMCJ14A-13-F can effectively clamp overvoltages, preventing them from damaging the circuit.
• Uni-directional Protection: This device is uni-directional, providing protection for one-way electrical paths against voltage spikes.
• Low Incremental Surge Resistance: The diode features a low incremental surge resistance, which helps to minimize the voltage drop across the diode when a surge occurs.
• DO-214AB Package: The SMCJ14A-13-F comes in a DO-214AB (SMC) package, which is known for its compact size and durability, making it suitable for high-density circuit board designs.
• Compliance: It meets the MSL level 1 standard, per J-STD-020, and is compliant with RoHS and REACH requirements, ensuring environmentally safe usage.
