ON Semiconductor SMF36AT1 Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode

The ON Semiconductor SMF36AT1 is a high-quality Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronics from voltage spikes and transients induced by lightning and other transient voltage events. This TVS diode is a robust circuit protection component that ensures the reliability and longevity of electronic systems in various applications, including automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics.

With its SOD-123FL package, the SMF36AT1 is optimized for surface-mount applications, allowing for efficient assembly and integration into compact circuit designs. The device features a stand-off voltage of 36V, which makes it suitable for protecting circuits with nominal operating voltages up to 36 volts. Its peak pulse power dissipation capability of 200W (for a 10/1000μs waveform) ensures that it can handle significant transient power spikes without damage.

The SMF36AT1's fast response time is critical for protecting sensitive components from immediate voltage transients. It reacts almost instantaneously, clamping the overvoltage to a safe level, thereby preventing potential damage to downstream components. This fast response time, combined with its low incremental surge resistance, results in minimal voltage overshoot during transient events.

ON Semiconductor has designed the SMF36AT1 to meet stringent industry standards. It complies with the ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5 specification for load dump, making it an excellent choice for automotive applications where electronics are exposed to extreme voltage conditions. Additionally, the device is RoHS compliant, ensuring that it meets current environmental standards regarding hazardous substances.

Key features of the SMF36AT1 include:

• Stand-off voltage: 36V
• Peak pulse power: 200W (10/1000μs)
• Low leakage current
• Fast response time
• Excellent clamping capability
