SMC30J6.5A - Transil™ SMC 30J Series TVS Diode

The SMC30J6.5A is a state-of-the-art Transil™ TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode designed by STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader. This robust diode is engineered to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system inductance, lightning, and other transient voltage events.

Housed in an SMC (DO-214AB) package, the SMC30J6.5A is capable of dissipating high surge power of 3000W (10/1000µs) while maintaining a low clamping voltage. The device is designed to operate in a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and consumer applications.

The SMC30J6.5A offers 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 the forward direction. Its breakdown voltage ranges from 7.22V to 8.82V, ensuring that the device will respond quickly to transient events without affecting the normal operation of the protected circuit.

One of the key features of the SMC30J6.5A is its low leakage current, which minimizes power loss and ensures high reliability over the product's lifespan. Additionally, the device meets the ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a and 5b specification and is AEC-Q101 qualified, making it ideal for automotive applications where robustness and reliability are critical.

The SMC30J6.5A is RoHS compliant and halogen-free, demonstrating STMicroelectronics' commitment to environmental sustainability. With its fast response time and strong surge suppression capabilities, the SMC30J6.5A is an excellent choice for protecting power buses, I/O interfaces, VCC busses, and other vulnerable circuits from the damaging effects of voltage transients.

Whether used in automotive electronics, industrial systems, or consumer products, the SMC30J6.5A from STMicroelectronics offers superior protection against transient overvoltages, ensuring the longevity and reliability of electronic components.
