SMCJ26CA-13-F TVS Diode by Diodes Incorporated

The SMCJ26CA-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a robust Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system inductive load switching and lightning. This component is particularly well-suited for the protection of voltage-sensitive devices in a variety of applications, including commercial, industrial, and portable electronics.

Key Features

• Reverse Stand-off Voltage: The device features a reverse stand-off voltage of 26V, making it suitable for a range of applications where this voltage level is common.
• Peak Pulse Power: With its ability to handle 1500W of peak pulse power dissipation for a 10/1000μs waveform, the SMCJ26CA-13-F ensures excellent clamping capability for transient events.
• Bi-directional Protection: As a bidirectional TVS, it provides protection in both polarities when AC power is present, enhancing the safety and reliability of the protected device.
• Low Incremental Surge Resistance: The surge resistance is extremely low, ensuring that the voltage clamping response is both swift and effective during a transient voltage event.
• Compliance: It meets the MSL level 1 standard, per J-STD-020, and is compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is lead-free.
