The SMAJ40CA-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a robust Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode, designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system inductance and lightning. With its bidirectional clamping feature, this component is ideal for AC applications or for use in situations where there is a need to protect against reverse polarity surges.

Key Features

• Stand-Off Voltage: The device has a stand-off voltage of 40V, which indicates the maximum voltage that can be applied while maintaining the diode in a non-conductive state.
• Peak Pulse Power: It can handle a peak pulse power of 400W for 10/1000µs waveforms, ensuring protection against high-energy transients.
• Surge Capability: The SMAJ40CA-13 is capable of withstanding surge events, making it suitable for applications that may experience sudden overvoltage conditions.
• Low Leakage Current: Exhibits low leakage current, reducing power loss and ensuring efficiency in standby mode.
• Fast Response Time: The TVS diode offers a fast response time to transient events, typically in picoseconds, providing immediate protection for sensitive circuits.
• Operating Temperature: It operates within a wide temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, suitable for various industrial and commercial environments.
• Package: Supplied in the industry-standard DO-214AC (SMA) package, which is compact and provides good thermal performance.
