Overview

Description

The SMBJ15CA is a bidirectional TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode designed to protect sensitive electronics from voltage transients and surges. It features a 15V breakdown voltage and can handle peak pulse power up to 600W.
Key characteristics:
- Bidirectional operation: Clamps both positive and negative voltage spikes.
- Low clamping voltage: Limits excessive voltage to safe levels.
- Fast response time: Reacts quickly (nanoseconds) to transient events.
- RoHS compliant: Environmentally friendly.
Common applications include protecting power supplies, communication lines, and data interfaces from ESD (electrostatic discharge), lightning surges, and inductive load switching.
Package: DO-214AA (SMB).
Operating temperature: -55°C to +150°C.
A cost-effective solution for surge protection in consumer, industrial, and automotive systems.

Features

The SMBJ15CA is a 15V bidirectional TVS diode designed for transient voltage suppression in electronic circuits. Key features:
- Voltage Rating: 15V working standoff voltage.
- Bidirectional: Protects against both positive and negative voltage transients.
- Peak Pulse Power: 600W (8/20µs pulse).
- Low Clamping Voltage: Limits voltage spikes to safe levels.
- Fast Response Time: Reacts in nanoseconds (ps range).
- Package: SMB (DO-214AA) for compact PCB mounting.
- Applications: Protects sensitive electronics (e.g., power supplies, data lines) from ESD, lightning, and inductive surges.
Ideal for automotive, industrial, and telecom systems requiring robust surge protection.

Pinout

The SMBJ15CA is a bidirectional TVS diode designed for transient voltage suppression.
- Pin Count: 2 pins (standard SMB package).
- Function: Protects circuits from voltage spikes by clamping transient voltages to a safe level (15V breakdown voltage). It operates bidirectionally, meaning it can handle both positive and negative voltage transients.
Key Parameters:
- Standoff Voltage (V_RWM): 15V
- Breakdown Voltage (V_BR): 16.7V (min)
- Peak Pulse Current (I_PP): High (varies by standard, e.g., 24.2A per IEC 61000-4-5).
Commonly used in power lines, data interfaces, and ESD protection.
