Additional Details:

The SMAJ5.0C/11 has a reverse standoff voltage of 5.0 V, with a breakdown voltage between 6.4 V and 7.1 V. It has a peak pulse power dissipation of 400 W at a 10/1000 μs waveform. The operating junction temperature range is -55 °C to +150 °C. The clamping voltage is 10.3V at peak pulse current. The package is a DO-214AC (SMA). Being bidirectional, it offers protection against both positive and negative voltage spikes. The fast response time is crucial for protecting sensitive components from damage due to fast transient events. By clamping voltage spikes, the SMAJ5.0C/11 helps prevent damage to sensitive downstream electronics, increasing the overall reliability and longevity of the system. It meets industry standards for surge protection.
