The SM15T200CA is a robust transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode from STMicroelectronics, designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system inductance, lightning, and other transient voltage events. This TVS diode is specifically engineered to safeguard circuits against reverse surges, with its bi-directional clamping action making it an ideal choice for AC applications or where the polarity is reversible.
Key Features
- Stand-off Voltage: The device is capable of withstanding voltages up to 171V in its stand-off state, providing a high degree of protection against voltage spikes.
- Peak Pulse Power: It offers a peak pulse power dissipation of 1500W (10/1000μs), ensuring that your devices are shielded from even the most severe transient power surges.
- Breakdown Voltage: The breakdown voltage range of 190V to 209V gives a margin of safety above the stand-off voltage, reducing the risk of breakdown during voltage spikes.
- Low Clamping Voltage: With a low clamping voltage, the SM15T200CA minimizes the stress on the protected circuit during a transient event.
