Diodes Incorporated SMBJ13A-13-F TVS Diode

The SMBJ13A-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a robust transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode, designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes and transient voltage events. This high-quality TVS diode is a go-to solution for engineers looking to secure their circuits against sudden surges that can occur due to lightning, electrostatic discharge, and other unexpected power anomalies.

Key Features

• Stand-off Voltage: The SMBJ13A-13-F is designed with a stand-off voltage of 13V, providing a stable protection threshold for devices operating at or around this voltage level.
• Peak Pulse Power: With its capability to handle 600W of peak pulse power (10/1000μs waveform), this TVS diode can effectively shunt excess transient power away from sensitive components, preventing damage.
• Clamping Voltage: In the event of a voltage spike, the SMBJ13A-13-F clamps to a maximum voltage of 21.5V, ensuring that the energy is safely dissipated without affecting the protected component.
• Fast Response Time: The device responds to overvoltage events in picoseconds, offering immediate protection against transient voltage spikes.
• Uni-directional Protection: Designed to protect in one direction, this diode is ideal for DC power supply applications where the polarity of the transient is known.
• DO-214AA Package: The SMBJ13A-13-F comes in a DO-214AA (SMB) surface mount package, which is compact and suitable for high-density circuit board designs.
• Compliance: It meets the MSL level 1 standard, per J-STD-020, and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for use in environmentally sensitive applications.
