Product Overview

The SMAJ200CA-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a high-quality, surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed to provide protection for sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system inductance and lightning. This component is particularly well-suited for the protection of voltage-sensitive devices and can be used in a wide range of applications including consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and telecommunications systems.

Key Features

• Bi-directional Protection: The SMAJ200CA-13-F offers bi-directional clamping which is essential for AC applications or where the polarity is reversible.
• High Surge Capability: With its ability to handle surges, it can protect against severe voltage spikes, ensuring the longevity and reliability of electronic components.
• Low Leakage Current: The diode's low leakage current helps to maintain energy efficiency in electronic systems, reducing power loss when the device is in standby mode.
• Fast Response Time: The TVS diode provides a quick response to transient events, typically in the picosecond range, which is critical for protecting advanced microcircuitry.
• Surface Mount Package: The SMAJ200CA-13-F comes in a DO-214AC package which is ideal for automated assembly processes and helps to save space on printed circuit boards.
• RoHS Compliant: This product complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, making it environmentally friendly and safe for use in all types of electronic equipment.

Electrical Characteristics

The SMAJ200CA-13-F has a stand-off voltage of 200V, which means it can withstand continuous voltage up to this level without conducting significant current. In the event of a voltage surge, the diode can clamp at a maximum peak pulse current of 2.0A (for 10/1000μs waveform), providing robust protection for electronic components.

Applications

Due to its versatile protective capabilities, the SMAJ200CA-13-F can be integrated into a variety of applications. These include:

• Power supply circuits
• AC/DC applications
• Telecommunications systems
• Portable devices
• Microprocessor/microcontroller protection
• Industrial control systems

This TVS diode is a reliable choice for designers looking to enhance the durability and safety of their electronic systems against voltage transients.
