Detailed Specs

The SMDJ6.0CA-HRA is a bidirectional TVS diode, as indicated by the 'CA' suffix, with a stand-off voltage of 6.0V. It provides equal protection for both positive and negative transients. The peak pulse power dissipation is rated at 3000W for a 10/1000 μs waveform. The clamping voltage is designed to limit the voltage across the protected circuit to a safe level during a transient event. The HRA designation indicates a High-Reliability Automotive grade component. The typical operating temperature range is -55°C to +150°C. It is essential to consult the manufacturer's datasheet for detailed electrical characteristics, including the clamping voltage at specific test currents, reverse leakage current, forward voltage drop, and surge current capability. The datasheet also provides information on the device's capacitance and its ability to handle repetitive surge events.
