Diodes Incorporated SMBJ70A-13 TVS Diode

The SMBJ70A-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a robust transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes and transients induced by lightning and other transient voltage events. This TVS diode is an ideal solution for safeguarding components in a variety of applications including industrial systems, consumer electronics, automotive circuits, and communication networks.

Featuring a stand-off voltage of 70V and a peak pulse power dissipation of 600W (10/1000μs waveform), the SMBJ70A-13 is capable of clamping and dissipating high energy transients efficiently, thereby preventing damage to the connected sensitive components. The device is housed in an SMB (DO-214AA) package, which is known for its compact footprint and ease of installation in space-constrained applications.

Key Specifications:

• Stand-Off Voltage: 70V
• Peak Pulse Power: 600W (10/1000μs)
• Clamping Voltage: 113.5V at 5.0A
• Package: SMB (DO-214AA)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to +150°C

The SMBJ70A-13 also features a fast response time, typically in the picosecond range, ensuring that transient voltages are clamped almost instantaneously. This quick action is crucial for protecting integrated circuits and other sensitive components that can be damaged by very short duration voltage spikes.

Furthermore, the device's low incremental surge resistance and excellent clamping capability ensure that the protected circuit remains within safe operating limits during extreme transient conditions. The SMBJ70A-13 is also RoHS compliant, meaning it meets the European Union's directives on the restriction of hazardous substances, making it suitable for use in environmentally sensitive applications.

With its combination of high power dissipation, fast response time, and compact packaging, the SMBJ70A-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a reliable and efficient choice for transient voltage suppression across a wide range of applications.
