Notes

  • SMCJ33(C)A is a 33V Transient Voltage Suppressor with 1500W peak pulse power rating on 10/1000 μs waveform.
  • Unidirectional variant (SMCJ33A): Color band denotes cathode.
  • Bidirectional variant (SMCJ33CA): No color band; device operates in both directions.
  • Electrical characteristics for SMCJ33(C)A:
    • Reverse Stand-off Voltage (V_RWM): 33V
    • Breakdown Voltage (V_BR): 36.7V (min) to 40.6V (max)
    • Clamping Voltage @ I_PPM: 53.3V
    • Peak Pulse Current (I_PPM): 28.1A
    • Reverse Leakage @ V_RWM: 5 μA
  • This is a two-terminal diode device in a surface-mount package; pin numbering follows standard SMC/DO-214AB convention where Pin 1 is cathode and Pin 2 is anode.
