SMC30J10CA Transient Voltage Suppressor

The SMC30J10CA is a robust transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode from STMicroelectronics, designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes and surges. This high-performance component is specifically engineered to safeguard circuits against transient voltage events such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT), and effects of secondary lightning.

Key Features

• Stand-off Voltage: The device has a stand-off voltage of 10V, providing a stable protective barrier for components that operate at or below this voltage level.
• Peak Pulse Power: It can handle peak pulse power dissipation of 3000W (10/1000μs), ensuring reliable protection against high energy transients.
• Clamping Voltage: With a low clamping voltage, the SMC30J10CA minimizes the stress on the protected component during a transient event.
• Bi-directional Protection: This TVS diode offers bi-directional protection, making it suitable for AC applications or where the polarity of the transient could be either positive or negative.
• Package: Housed in an SMC package, it provides a compact footprint and is compatible with high-volume assembly lines, thanks to its suitability for automated placement.
• Compliance: The diode complies with industrial standards, including IEC 61000-4-2 for ESD, IEC 61000-4-4 for EFT, and IEC 61000-4-5 for surge immunity. It is also RoHS compliant, minimizing the environmental impact by avoiding the use of hazardous substances.
