Diodes Incorporated SMBJ43CA-13-F TVS Diode

The SMBJ43CA-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a robust transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system-level events such as lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and electrical fast transients (EFT). This TVS diode is an ideal solution for safeguarding voltage-sensitive components which can be affected by these types of disturbances, ensuring reliability and longevity of electronic systems.

Constructed with Diodes Incorporated's cutting-edge technology, the SMBJ43CA-13-F is packaged in a compact SMB (Surface Mount Device) footprint, providing a space-saving solution that is suitable for high-density circuit boards. Its bidirectional design allows it to provide symmetrical protection in AC circuits or when the polarity is unknown or fluctuates.

Key features of the SMBJ43CA-13-F include:

• Stand-off voltage (V_RWM): 43V, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
• Peak pulse power dissipation (P_PPM): 600W for 10/1000μs waveform, ensuring a high level of protection against powerful surges.
• Clamping voltage (V_C): 69.4V at 10.3A, offering a rapid response to transient events.
• Maximum reverse leakage current (I_R): 1μA at 43V, contributing to energy efficiency in the application.
• Operating junction temperature range: -55°C to +150°C, which allows for use in various environmental conditions.
• Compliance with the RoHS directive and lead-free, making it an environmentally friendly choice.

With its fast response time, the SMBJ43CA-13-F is capable of responding to over-voltage events faster than other traditional protection devices such as varistors or gas discharge tubes. This TVS diode is commonly used in a variety of applications, including but not limited to consumer electronics, automotive systems, industrial controls, and telecom infrastructure.

Whether you're designing a new system or retrofitting an existing one, the SMBJ43CA-13-F provides reliable and effective protection against transient voltage spikes, ensuring the safety and functionality of your electronic components.
