The SMAJ11CA-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a robust surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system inductance, lightning, and other transient voltage events.

Key Features

• Bi-Directional Protection: The SMAJ11CA-13 offers bi-directional clamping which makes it suitable for AC applications or where the polarity is reversible.
• Peak Pulse Power: It has an impressive peak pulse power dissipation rating of 400W for 10/1000μs waveform, ensuring reliable protection against high energy transients.
• Stand-Off Voltage: The device features a stand-off voltage of 11V, providing a margin of safety for electronic components that may be exposed to high voltage levels.
• Fast Response Time: With a response time of less than 1 picosecond from 0V to BV min, it ensures quick protection for sensitive circuits.
• Low Incremental Surge Resistance: The TVS diode has a low incremental surge resistance, minimizing the voltage drop across the diode when a surge occurs.
