SMCJ64A-13-F - Diodes Incorporated

The SMCJ64A-13-F is a robust surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed by Diodes Incorporated to provide high surge capability and excellent clamping performance, making it an ideal choice for sensitive electronic protection. This TVS diode is designed to protect voltage-sensitive components from destruction or degradation from transient voltage events such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT), and secondary effects of lightning strikes.

Key Features

• Stand-off Voltage: The SMCJ64A-13-F has a stand-off voltage of 64V, which is the maximum reverse voltage that the diode can withstand without conducting in reverse.
• Peak Pulse Power: It offers a peak pulse power dissipation of 1500W (10/1000μs waveform), ensuring protection against high energy transients.
• Clamping Voltage: Upon encountering a surge event, the clamping voltage is a low 103V, which helps to protect sensitive circuit components from high-voltage spikes.
• Surge Capability: This component is capable of handling surge currents up to the rated maximum, providing reliable protection from sudden surges.
• Low Incremental Surge Resistance: The SMCJ64A-13-F has a low incremental surge resistance, minimizing the voltage drop across the diode during surge events.
• Package: Housed in an SMC package, this device provides a compact footprint and is compatible with automated placement equipment, simplifying board design and assembly.
• Environmental Compliance: It is lead-free and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for use in environmentally sensitive applications.
