Diodes Incorporated SMBJ8.5AT-13 TVS Diode

The SMBJ8.5AT-13 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 other transient voltage events. This TVS diode is an essential component for systems that require reliable protection against sudden surges that can cause irreparable damage to integrated circuits and other critical components.

Constructed with the purpose of offering a high degree of surge protection, the SMBJ8.5AT-13 is capable of clamping and dissipating the energy of voltage spikes to a safe level, ensuring the integrity and longevity of electronic systems. With its fast response time, the diode reacts almost instantaneously to transient overvoltages, safeguarding components before the surge can cause any harm.

Key features of the SMBJ8.5AT-13 include:

• Stand-Off Voltage: The device has a stand-off voltage of 8.5V, which is the maximum voltage that can be applied over the diode without causing it to conduct in surge conditions.
• Peak Pulse Power: It offers a peak pulse power dissipation of 600 watts for a 10/1000μs waveform, allowing it to handle significant power surges without failure.
• Package: The diode comes in a compact SMB (DO-214AA) package, which is suitable for automated pick and place assembly processes and saves valuable board space.
• Operating Temperature Range: It operates over a broad temperature range from -55°C to +150°C, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
• Compliance: This component complies with the RoHS and REACH environmental standards, ensuring its suitability for use in a wide range of global markets.

Whether used in consumer electronics, automotive systems, telecommunications, or industrial equipment, the SMBJ8.5AT-13 provides reliable protection against voltage transients. Its combination of high surge capability, fast response time, and compact form factor makes it an ideal choice for designers looking to enhance the durability and reliability of their electronic products.
