Product Overview: SM6T7V5CA/N - STMicroelectronics
The SM6T7V5CA/N, manufactured by STMicroelectronics, is a high-performance transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system inductance and lightning. This device is particularly well-suited for applications that demand reliable and robust protection against overvoltage conditions.
Key Features
- Stand-off Voltage: The SM6T7V5CA/N has a stand-off voltage of 7.5V, making it suitable for a range of protection scenarios in electronic circuits.
- Bi-directional Device: This TVS diode can clamp transient voltages in both directions, providing symmetrical protection that is essential for AC applications or where the polarity of the transient could be either positive or negative.
- Peak Pulse Power: It offers excellent clamping capability with a peak pulse power of 600W (10/1000μs surge). This ensures that devices are shielded from even the most severe transient spikes.
- Low Clamping Voltage: The low clamping voltage minimizes the stress on the protected circuit, thereby increasing the longevity and reliability of the overall system.
- Fast Response Time: With its rapid response to transient overvoltages, the SM6T7V5CA/N ensures that the components in your electronic system are protected without delay.
- Package: This component is available in a molded plastic case which is designed to be robust and offers excellent mechanical and thermal protection.
