Diodes Incorporated SMAJ36AQ-13-F TVS Diode

The SMAJ36AQ-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a robust transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes and transients induced by lightning and other transient voltage events. This component is a part of the SMAJ series, which is known for its high surge capability and fast response time to transient events.

The SMAJ36AQ-13-F is designed to clamp transient voltages and shunt excess current to ground, thereby safeguarding the delicate circuits in consumer electronics, communication devices, industrial equipment, and other applications. With a stand-off voltage of 36V, this TVS diode is suitable for a range of voltage-sensitive components that require protection at this voltage level.

Key Features:

• Peak Pulse Power Dissipation: The device can handle a peak pulse power dissipation of 400W (@10/1000μs waveform), which ensures reliable protection against high energy transients.
• Clamping Voltage: It features a low clamping voltage, which minimizes the stress on the protected component during a transient event.
• Fast Response Time: The diode's response time is less than 1 picosecond from 0V to BV min, providing immediate protection against transient voltages.
• Low Leakage Current: It has low leakage current, which helps to preserve energy and maintain the efficiency of the overall system.
• Operating Temperature Range: The SMAJ36AQ-13-F can operate over a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, making it suitable for various challenging environments.
• Package: Housed in a low-profile SMA package, the device is ideal for high-density circuit board designs.
• Compliance: It meets the MSL level 1, per J-STD-020, LF maximum peak of 260°C, and is RoHS compliant, ensuring compatibility with the latest environmental standards.

Applications:

• Protection of I/O interfaces
• Vcc bus and other vulnerable circuits
• Consumer electronics such as TVs, laptops, and smartphones
• Telecommunication systems
• Power supply units
• Industrial control systems

With its robust design and reliable performance, the SMAJ36AQ-13-F TVS diode from Diodes Incorporated is an excellent choice for designers looking to enhance the durability and longevity of their electronic systems against transient voltage events.
