The SMAJ6.5A-TR is a robust transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode from STMicroelectronics, designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system inductance, lightning, and other transient voltage events. This component is a perfect solution for safeguarding voltage-sensitive devices such as integrated circuits, MOSFETs, and signal lines from overvoltage conditions.
Key Features
- Stand-off Voltage: The SMAJ6.5A-TR has a stand-off voltage of 6.5V, which is the maximum voltage that can be applied over the device without causing it to conduct in avalanche mode.
- Peak Pulse Power: It offers a peak pulse power dissipation of 400W (10/1000µs waveform), ensuring effective protection against high energy transients.
- Clamping Voltage: When subjected to a high voltage spike, the device clamps the voltage to a safe level, with a maximum clamping voltage of 11.2V at 23.5A.
- Low Leakage Current: It features a low leakage current, minimizing the power loss when the device is in the standby mode and improving the overall efficiency of the application.
- Fast Response Time: The TVS diode provides a fast response time to transient events, typically in the picosecond range, ensuring immediate protection for sensitive circuits.
- Package: Housed in a compact SMA (DO-214AC) package, the SMAJ6.5A-TR is designed for surface mount applications, providing space-saving benefits and facilitating easy integration into a variety of circuits.
