SMCJ8.5CE3/TR13 TVS Diode by Microchip Technology

The SMCJ8.5CE3/TR13 is a robust Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed by Microchip Technology, a leading provider of smart, connected, and secure embedded control solutions. This TVS diode is specifically engineered to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system-induced surge events and electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Constructed with the capability to dissipate high surge power of up to 1500 Watts at 10/1000μs waveform, this diode is a reliable component for safeguarding high-voltage circuits. The SMCJ8.5CE3/TR13 operates at a stand-off voltage of 8.5 volts, which is a critical parameter in determining the voltage level at which the protection device becomes active.

Featuring a low incremental surge resistance and excellent clamping capability, the SMCJ8.5CE3/TR13 helps to ensure that the voltage spike does not exceed the breakdown voltage of the protected component. It is designed to meet the ISO 7637-2 pulse 1 criteria and is compliant with IEC 61000-4-2 for ESD immunity, ensuring that it can withstand the toughest of industry standards for transient voltage suppression.

Available in a DO-214AB (SMC) package, this TVS diode provides a compact, surface-mount solution that is suitable for high-density circuit board designs. Its package is designed for optimal automated board assembly processes, and the part is supplied in tape and reel format (TR13), which is ideal for high-volume production environments.

The SMCJ8.5CE3/TR13 is a versatile and reliable component for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to automotive systems, industrial controllers, power supply circuits, and communication systems. With its ability to protect against surges and its compliance with rigorous standards, the SMCJ8.5CE3/TR13 is an essential component for any design where transient voltage protection is a critical concern.

Microchip Technology's commitment to quality ensures that each SMCJ8.5CE3/TR13 TVS diode is manufactured to the highest standards, offering both performance and peace of mind for designers and engineers.
