Product Overview: SMAJ8.5CAQ-13-F

The SMAJ8.5CAQ-13-F is a high-quality, surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed and manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. This robust component is engineered to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system-level events such as load dump, lightning, and electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Featuring a bidirectional configuration, the SMAJ8.5CAQ-13-F is capable of clamping and dissipating the energy of voltage spikes in both directions, ensuring comprehensive protection for your circuits. With a standoff voltage of 8.5 volts, it is suitable for a wide range of applications where transient voltage protection is critical.

Key Features:

• Peak Pulse Power Dissipation: 400W @ 10/1000μs waveform
• ESD and EFT protection per IEC 61000-4-2 and IEC 61000-4-4
• Lead-free design and RoHS compliant
• Low incremental surge resistance
• Excellent clamping capability
• Fast response time: Typically less than 1.0ps from 0V to V(BR) minimum
• Operating Junction Temperature Range: -55°C to +150°C
• Surface Mount Package: DO-214AC (SMA)

The device's package, DO-214AC (SMA), is compact and lends itself well to automated assembly processes, making it a convenient choice for high-volume production. With its low incremental surge resistance and excellent clamping capability, the SMAJ8.5CAQ-13-F is designed to respond quickly to transient events, typically in less than 1.0 picoseconds from 0V to its minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)), offering immediate protection for your circuitry.

Compliance with international standards such as IEC 61000-4-2 for ESD and IEC 61000-4-4 for EFT ensures that the SMAJ8.5CAQ-13-F is suitable for use in a regulated environment and can meet the stringent requirements of commercial and industrial electronic systems. Moreover, the product is lead-free and RoHS compliant, reflecting Diodes Incorporated's commitment to environmental sustainability.

Whether you are designing consumer electronics, automotive systems, or industrial controls, the SMAJ8.5CAQ-13-F from Diodes Incorporated offers reliable protection against voltage transients, ensuring the longevity and reliability of your products.
