SMCJ28A-13-F TVS Diode from Diodes Incorporated

The SMCJ28A-13-F is a robust Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed by Diodes Incorporated to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system inductance, lightning, and other transient voltage events. This component is specifically engineered to safeguard voltage-sensitive devices that require high surge protection in a compact package.

Key Features and Benefits

• Peak Pulse Power: The SMCJ28A-13-F offers excellent surge protection with its 1500W peak pulse power capability at 10/1000μs waveform, which is essential for absorbing high energy from transients without performance degradation.
• Stand-off Voltage: It has a stand-off voltage of 28V, providing a suitable margin above the normal operating voltage to prevent premature clamping.
• Clamping Voltage: Upon encountering a surge, the clamping voltage is 45.4V, ensuring that any transient above this threshold is effectively clamped to a safe level.
• Reverse Stand-off Voltage Range: The device caters to a broad range of applications with its reverse stand-off voltage range from 5.0V to 495V.
• Unidirectional Protection: The SMCJ28A-13-F is unidirectional, designed to protect one line direction, making it suitable for DC applications where the polarity is fixed.
• Low Incremental Surge Resistance: With its low incremental surge resistance, the diode effectively handles large surges without a significant increase in voltage across the device.
• Compatibility: Its package is the industry-standard SMC (DO-214AB), which is compatible with high-volume electronic assembly processes, including automated pick and place.
• Environmental Standards: This TVS diode is compliant with RoHS and REACH environmental standards, ensuring that it meets global regulatory requirements for environmental safety.
