The SMAJ28CA-13-F is a robust transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode designed by Diodes Incorporated to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system inductance, lightning, and other transient voltage events. This TVS diode is specifically engineered to shield components on a circuit board from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other harmful transient voltage spikes that can cause permanent damage or temporary malfunctioning.

Packaged in a compact SMA (DO-214AC) package, the SMAJ28CA-13-F is suitable for automated placement in high-volume manufacturing and can easily be integrated into a wide variety of applications. Its bidirectional configuration provides symmetrical protection which makes it ideal for AC applications or situations where there is uncertainty in the polarity of the transient.

Key Features:

• Stand-Off Voltage: The device has a stand-off voltage of 28V, which makes it suitable for a range of electronic circuits that operate at this voltage level.
• Peak Pulse Power: With a peak pulse power rating of 400W for 10/1000μs waveform, it can handle significant power surges without degradation.
• Clamping Voltage: The SMAJ28CA-13-F has a clamping voltage of 45.4V, ensuring that voltage spikes are effectively clamped down to a safe level.
• Low Leakage Current: It exhibits low leakage current, which helps to reduce power loss and increase the efficiency of the overall system.
• Fast Response Time: The device responds to over-voltage events in less than 1 picosecond, providing immediate protection against transient spikes.
• RoHS Compliant: The diode is RoHS compliant, meaning it is manufactured without the use of hazardous materials and is environmentally friendly.

The SMAJ28CA-13-F is a versatile component that can be deployed in a variety of applications including consumer electronics, automotive systems, industrial controls, and telecommunications infrastructure. Its ability to protect against high energy transients makes it an essential component for enhancing the durability and reliability of electronic systems.
