SMCJ130A-TR from STMicroelectronics

The SMCJ130A-TR is a robust surface-mount Transil™ TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode designed by STMicroelectronics to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system-level events such as load dump and lightning. Ideal for high-density boards where space is at a premium, this TVS diode is housed in a convenient SMC (DO-214AB) package, ensuring easy integration into various circuit designs.

Key Features

• Stand-off voltage: 130V - This parameter indicates the maximum voltage that the device can tolerate without conducting in its standby state.
• Peak pulse power: 1500W (10/1000μs) - The SMCJ130A-TR can absorb up to 1500 watts of peak pulse power, providing a high level of protection against electrical surges.
• Low clamping factor - Ensures that the voltage to which sensitive components are exposed during a transient event is kept to a minimum.
• Fast response time - The device reacts quickly to transient events, minimizing the risk of damage to the protected components.
• Low incremental surge resistance - Improves the performance of the device under surge conditions.
• Operating junction temperature range: -55°C to 150°C - Suitable for a wide range of operating environments.
• Compliance with industrial standards: IEC 61000-4-2, IEC 61000-4-4, and IEC 61000-4-5.
