Additional Details

The SMDJ26CAHR6G has a standoff voltage of 26V, which is the maximum voltage the device can withstand without conducting. The clamping voltage is the voltage to which the device clamps during a surge event. The peak pulse power dissipation is a key parameter indicating the device's ability to handle high-energy surges. It has a typical surge current rating. The operating temperature range typically spans from -55°C to +150°C.
