Notes

  • SMBJ15CA-E3/52 is a bi-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB J-Bend) package.
  • Polarity: No marking on bi-directional types; electrical characteristics apply in both directions.
  • Electrical characteristics for SMBJ15CA: V_BR (breakdown voltage) 16.7–20.4 V (at I_T = 1.0 mA), V_WM (stand-off voltage) = 15 V, I_PPM (max peak pulse surge current) = 22.3 A, V_C (max clamping voltage at I_PPM) = 26.9 V.
  • Peak pulse power: 600 W (10/1000 μs waveform, duty cycle 0.01%).
  • Thermal resistance: R_θ_JA = 100 °C/W (mounted on 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads).
  • Temperature range: T_J, T_STG = −55 to +150 °C.
  • Suffix E3: Commercial grade; HE3 suffix indicates high-reliability grade (AEC Q101 qualified).

Typical Application

Use in sensitive electronics protection against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lighting on ICs, MOSFET, signal lines of sensor units for consumer, computer, industrial, automotive and telecommunication.
