Diodes Incorporated SMAJ60CA-13-F TVS Diode

The SMAJ60CA-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a robust Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system inductance, lightning, and electrostatic discharge (ESD). This high-quality TVS diode is a preferred choice for safeguarding voltage-sensitive components which can be affected by these sudden and extreme voltage variations.

Encased in a compact SMA (DO-214AC) package, the SMAJ60CA-13-F is optimized for surface-mounted applications. Its small footprint ensures that it can be easily integrated into a wide range of products without requiring significant board space, making it ideal for densely packed PCBs where space is at a premium.

This device has a stand-off voltage of 60V, which indicates the maximum voltage that can be applied while maintaining the diode in a non-conductive state. In the event of a voltage spike, the SMAJ60CA-13-F can clamp and withstand a peak pulse power dissipation of 400W for 10/1000μs waveforms, as defined by the IEC 61000-4-5 standard. This capability ensures reliable protection for electronic circuits against transient overvoltage events.

Additionally, the SMAJ60CA-13-F is bidirectional, providing symmetrical protection from voltage transients in both polarities when AC power is present. It is characterized by its fast response time, typically in the picosecond range, which is essential for reacting to transient events quickly and minimizing potential damage to the circuit.

The device meets the MSL level 1 standard, per J-STD-020, and is lead-free, halogen-free, and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for use in environmentally sensitive applications and in jurisdictions with strict environmental regulations. The SMAJ60CA-13-F is also recognized under the UL 94V-0 flammability rating, which ensures that it not only protects electronic components but also meets stringent safety standards.

Whether it's in consumer electronics, telecommunications, industrial systems, or computing devices, the SMAJ60CA-13-F TVS diode from Diodes Incorporated is an excellent choice for designers looking to enhance the durability and reliability of their products by providing superior transient voltage suppression.
