The SMA6J26CA-TR from STMicroelectronics is a robust and versatile transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode, designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes and transients. This high-quality component is packaged in a compact SMA (DO-214AC) package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications while offering excellent surge protection capabilities.
Key Features
- Stand-off Voltage: The device has a stand-off voltage of 26V, which is the maximum voltage that can be applied over the diode without causing it to conduct in avalanche mode.
- Peak Pulse Power: It can handle peak pulse power dissipation of 600W (10/1000μs), ensuring protection against high energy transients.
- Clamping Voltage: The SMA6J26CA-TR offers a clamping voltage of 42.1V, providing a secure barrier against voltage transients beyond its rated stand-off voltage.
- Bi-directional Protection: As a bi-directional TVS, the SMA6J26CA-TR can protect circuits from voltage spikes occurring in both directions along the signal or power line.
- Low Leakage Current: The low leakage current of this device minimizes power loss when the device is in standby mode, contributing to the energy efficiency of the overall system.
- Fast Response Time: With its fast response time to transient events, this TVS diode ensures that the protected components are quickly shielded from harmful voltage spikes.
- RoHS Compliant: Adhering to environmental standards, the SMA6J26CA-TR is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for use in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications where hazardous substances are restricted.
