STMicroelectronics SMBJ24A-TR TVS Diode

The SMBJ24A-TR from STMicroelectronics is a high-quality Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system inductance, lightning, and other transient voltage events. This robust TVS diode is a popular choice for safeguarding voltage-sensitive components which can be affected by sudden surges, thus ensuring the reliability and longevity of electronic systems.

Designed in a compact DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package, the SMBJ24A-TR is optimized for easy integration into a wide range of applications. Its stand-off voltage is 24V, which makes it suitable for protecting circuits with a working voltage of 24V or lower. The device is capable of clamping and dissipating high transient overvoltages, which prevents damage to the protected components.

The SMBJ24A-TR has a peak pulse power dissipation of 600W for 10/1000μs waveforms, which enables it to handle significant power surges. Its fast response time is less than 1 picosecond from 0V to BV min, ensuring that the protection is activated almost instantly when a transient voltage occurs. Additionally, the device features a low incremental surge resistance and is rated for operation from -55°C to +150°C, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.

This TVS diode is also designed to meet the ISO 7637-2 pulse 5A and 5B requirements and the IEC 61000-4-2 standard for electrostatic discharge (ESD) immunity, which ensures that the device can withstand common ESD events without performance degradation. The SMBJ24A-TR is RoHS compliant and lead-free, making it an environmentally friendly choice for modern electronic designs.

With its excellent clamping capability, fast response time, and robust construction, the STMicroelectronics SMBJ24A-TR TVS diode is an essential component for designers looking to enhance the protection of their electronic circuits against transient voltage events.
