SMCJ33A-TR - Transient Voltage Suppressor

The SMCJ33A-TR from STMicroelectronics is a robust transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes and transients induced by lightning and other transient voltage events. This TVS diode is a great choice for safeguarding your circuits against the potentially damaging effects of overvoltage events.

Key Features:

• Stand-off Voltage: The device has a stand-off voltage of 33V, which makes it suitable for a range of applications that require this level of voltage protection.
• Peak Pulse Power: It can handle a peak pulse power of 1500W (10/1000μs), ensuring effective protection against high energy transients.
• Clamping Voltage: When subjected to a transient over-voltage, the SMCJ33A-TR clamps to a maximum voltage of 53.3V, thus limiting the stress on the protected component.
• Low Leakage Current: The low leakage current of the device under normal operation helps to preserve energy and maintain efficiency within the system.
• Fast Response Time: The TVS diode offers a quick response time to transient events, ensuring immediate protection upon detection of any voltage surge.
• Package: Provided in a DO-214AB (SMC) package, the SMCJ33A-TR is designed for surface mount applications and is compatible with typical soldering processes, making it easy to integrate into a variety of circuit designs.
• RoHS Compliant: The device is compliant with RoHS directives, which means it is manufactured with a focus on environmental safety and sustainability.
