Microchip Technology's SMLJ7.5AE3/TR13 Transient Voltage Suppressor

The SMLJ7.5AE3/TR13 is a robust transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed by Microchip Technology to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes and transients induced by lightning and other transient voltage events. This TVS diode is part of the SMLJ Series, which is known for its high reliability and superior performance in clamping high transient voltages.

Key Features

• Stand-Off Voltage: The device has a stand-off voltage of 7.5V, which is the maximum voltage that can be applied over the diode without causing it to conduct in avalanche mode.
• Peak Pulse Power: It offers an impressive peak pulse power dissipation of 3000W (3kW) for a 10/1000μs waveform, ensuring protection against high energy transients.
• High Surge Capability: With its high surge capability, the SMLJ7.5AE3/TR13 is ideally suited to protect against surges specified in IEC 61000-4-5 and other industry standards.
• Low Incremental Surge Resistance: The device features low incremental surge resistance, which helps in minimizing the voltage drop across the diode during a surge event.
• Operating Temperature: It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, making it suitable for a wide range of environments and applications.
• Package Type: The diode comes in a molded plastic over glass passivated junction in a DO-214AB package, also known as SMC package, which is known for its compact size and durability.
