The SMCJ16A-E3 is a surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Vishay. It's designed to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage transients induced by lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD), inductive switching, and other transient voltage events.

Applications:

• Protection of I/O interfaces
• Protection of VCC bus from transient events
• Industrial equipment
• Consumer electronics
• Telecom equipment

Features:

• Surface mount package
• Glass passivated junction
• Excellent clamping capability
• Low incremental surge resistance
• Typical IR less than 1 μA above 10 V
• Fast response time: typically less than 1.0 ps from 0 V to BV min

Benefits:

• Protects sensitive electronic equipment from damaging voltage transients
• Reduces downtime and maintenance costs associated with transient-related failures
• Increases the reliability and lifespan of electronic products
• Simplifies board layout with its surface mount package
• High surge capability to withstand severe transient events

Additional Details:

The SMCJ16A-E3 offers a standoff voltage of 16V and a peak pulse power dissipation of 1500W. Its glass-passivated junction ensures high reliability and stable performance. The low incremental surge resistance and fast response time provide excellent clamping capability, effectively limiting transient voltages to safe levels. It is compliant with RoHS standards.

Electrical Characteristics:

• Standoff Voltage (Vr): 16 V
• Breakdown Voltage (Vbr): 17.8 V to 22.1 V
• Test Current (It): 1 mA
• Clamping Voltage (Vc) @ Peak Pulse Current (Ipp): 25.8 V
• Peak Pulse Current (Ipp) @ 1500W: 58.1 A
