The SMCJ90A-13 is a robust transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode designed by Diodes Incorporated 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 voltage-sensitive components which can be found in a variety of applications, including industrial systems, consumer electronics, automotive, and telecommunications.

With its stand-off voltage of 90V and a peak pulse power dissipation of 1500W (10/1000μs waveform), the SMCJ90A-13 is capable of handling significant energy associated with transient events, ensuring reliable protection for your circuits. The device's bidirectional clamping action instantly reacts to overvoltage conditions, returning to its high-impedance state once the voltage drops to a safe level, thus preventing damage to the protected components.

Key Features:

• Stand-Off Voltage: 90V, providing a suitable protection margin for a wide range of supply voltages
• Peak Pulse Power: 1500 Watts (10/1000μs), capable of shunting away high-energy transients
• Clamping Voltage: The device clamps at a voltage level that ensures the safety of the protected component
• Package: Supplied in a low-profile SMC package, the SMCJ90A-13 is designed for surface mount application, saving valuable board space
• Compliance: Recognized under the components program of Underwriters Laboratories, meeting the UL 497B standard for surge suppression components
• Environmentally Friendly: Complies with the RoHS directive, making it suitable for use in equipment requiring environmentally safe components

The SMCJ90A-13 is also characterized by its low leakage current and fast response time, making it an excellent choice for protecting high-speed data lines and power supply rails. Its robust construction ensures long-term reliability even under the toughest conditions.

Whether you're designing a new system or looking to enhance the protection of an existing one, the SMCJ90A-13 from Diodes Incorporated provides the performance and reliability needed to guard against the costly impact of voltage transients.
