The SM4T15A is a high-quality Transil™ diode designed and manufactured by STMicroelectronics, a leader in the semiconductor industry. This transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode is engineered to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system level events or other external surge events.
Key Features
- Stand-off Voltage: The device has a stand-off voltage of 15V, making it suitable for a variety of applications that require this level of protection.
- Peak Pulse Power: It can handle a peak pulse power of 400W (10/1000μs surge), providing robust protection against high-energy transients.
- Low Clamping Voltage: With its low clamping voltage, the SM4T15A ensures that the protected components are exposed to minimal stress during surge events.
- Fast Response Time: The diode's response time is less than 1 picosecond from 0V to BV min, offering immediate protection against voltage spikes.
- Package: Housed in a compact SMB (DO-214AA) package, the SM4T15A is suitable for high-density circuit designs.
