The SMA6F14A from STMicroelectronics is a high-quality Transil™ diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by lightning and other transient voltage events. This robust component is part of ST's SMA6F series, offering a peak pulse power dissipation of 600W (10/1000 μs) with fast response time, ensuring reliable performance in a variety of applications.
With a stand-off voltage of 14V, the SMA6F14A is specifically engineered to safeguard voltage-sensitive components from electrical over-stress (EOS) and electrostatic discharge (ESD). Its unidirectional configuration provides targeted protection, making it an ideal choice for use in consumer electronics, automotive systems, and industrial equipment.
The device features a low clamping factor and low leakage current, which are critical for maintaining the integrity and longevity of electronic circuits. Additionally, the SMA6F14A's low profile SMA (DO-214AC) package allows for easy integration into space-constrained designs without compromising on power handling capabilities.
Key specifications of the SMA6F14A include:
- Peak Pulse Power Dissipation (Pppm): 600W
- Stand-off Voltage (Vrwm): 14V
- Breakdown Voltage (Vbr): 15.6V to 17.2V
- Clamping Voltage (Vc) at 10/1000 μs: 23.2V
- Peak Pulse Current (Ipp) at 10/1000 μs: 25.9A
- ESD immunity: IEC 61000-4-2 level 4
- Operating Junction Temperature Range: -55°C to +150°C
