SMCJ70CA-13-F - Transient Voltage Suppressor from Diodes Incorporated

The SMCJ70CA-13-F is a robust transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed by Diodes Incorporated to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system-level events and other transient overvoltage conditions. This TVS diode is a bidirectional device, providing clamping protection for both positive and negative voltage spikes, making it a versatile solution for safeguarding a wide range of applications.

With its standoff voltage of 70V, the SMCJ70CA-13-F can effectively handle applications that require a higher voltage threshold. The device is capable of dissipating 1,500 watts of peak pulse power for a 10/1000μs waveform, ensuring reliable protection against high energy transients. This power capability, combined with a fast response time, is critical in preventing damage to sensitive circuit components during voltage surges.

The SMCJ70CA-13-F comes in a DO-214AB (SMC) package, which is known for its compact size and excellent power dissipation characteristics. This package is suitable for surface-mount technology (SMT), providing ease of integration into PCB designs and contributing to a reduction in overall board space requirements. The low profile of the SMC package also makes it an ideal choice for use in applications where height is a constraint.

Furthermore, the SMCJ70CA-13-F is compliant with the RoHS directive, meaning it is free from hazardous substances such as lead, cadmium, and mercury. This compliance ensures that the product can be used in electronic equipment that is sold in regions with strict environmental regulations.

Key features of the SMCJ70CA-13-F include:

• Peak Pulse Power Dissipation: 1,500W @ 10/1000μs waveform
• Standoff Voltage: 70V
• Breakdown Voltage: 77.8V to 86.1V
