Diodes Incorporated SMAJ100CA-13-F - TVS Diode

The SMAJ100CA-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a robust Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system inductance, lightning, and other transient voltage events. This TVS diode is an ideal solution for the safeguarding of I/O interfaces, VCC bus, and other vulnerable circuits used in a wide range of applications including consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, and telecommunication systems.

Key Features:

• Bi-directional Protection: The SMAJ100CA-13-F offers bi-directional clamping which makes it suitable for AC applications or where the polarity is undefined.
• High Surge Capability: With its peak pulse power dissipation of 400W (10/1000μs waveform), this diode can handle significant surge events, ensuring reliable protection for your devices.
• Low Incremental Surge Resistance: The innovative design provides a low resistance path for surges, enhancing the protection capabilities of the diode.
• Fast Response Time: The device responds to over-voltage events in less than 1 picosecond, offering immediate protection against voltage spikes.
• DO-214AC (SMA) Package: The compact SMA package allows for easy integration into a variety of circuit designs without taking up significant board space.

Electrical Characteristics:

• Stand-off Voltage: 100V - This is the maximum voltage that the diode can tolerate on a continuous basis without conducting.
• Breakdown Voltage: Ranging from 111V to 123V, ensuring that the device will clamp transient voltages above this range.
• Clamping Voltage: Maximum clamping voltage of 162V at 2.5A, providing a limit to the voltage that can appear across the protected load during a surge event.
• Maximum Reverse Leakage: At the rated stand-off voltage, the leakage current is less than 1μA, minimizing power loss during normal operation.

The SMAJ100CA-13-F is RoHS compliant and adheres to the ISO 9001 quality standard, reflecting Diodes Incorporated's commitment to environmental responsibility and product quality. Its solid-state design ensures high reliability and a long operational life, making it a trusted choice for transient voltage suppression across various applications.
