SMC30J13CA Transient Voltage Suppressor from STMicroelectronics

The SMC30J13CA is a robust transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed by STMicroelectronics to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system inductance and lightning. This high-performance device is specifically engineered to shield circuits from the destructive forces of electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT), and other high-energy surge events.

Key Features

• Stand-Off Voltage: The device offers a stand-off voltage of 13V, which makes it suitable for a variety of applications where this voltage level is critical for operation.
• Peak Pulse Power: With its capability to handle 3000W (10/1000μs surge) peak pulse power dissipation, it ensures reliable protection for sensitive components against high power surges.
• Clamping Voltage: It provides a low clamping voltage under surge, minimizing the stress on the protected component during a transient event.
• Package: The SMC30J13CA comes in an SMC package, which is known for its compact size and reliability, making it suitable for high-density board installations.
• Bi-Directional Protection: This device offers bi-directional protection, making it ideal for AC applications or where the polarity is undefined.
