SMAJ40CA-TP

The SMAJ40CA-TP is a surface-mount transient voltage suppressor diode designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from transient voltage events, such as electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electrical fast transients (EFT). It is part of the SMAJ series of TVS diodes, offering robust transient voltage protection for a wide range of electronic applications.

Key Features:

• Transient Voltage Suppression: Provides effective suppression of transient voltage events, including ESD, EFT, and lightning-induced surges, protecting downstream components from voltage spikes and overvoltage conditions.
• Bidirectional Protection: Offers bidirectional transient voltage protection, allowing it to clamp both positive and negative voltage transients, ensuring comprehensive protection for electronic circuits.
• Low Clamping Voltage: Features a low clamping voltage, ensuring that the protected circuit remains within safe voltage levels during transient events, minimizing the risk of damage to sensitive components.
• Fast Response Time: Provides rapid response to transient voltage events, with a quick turn-on time, effectively clamping transient voltages before they can reach critical levels.
• High Surge Current Capability: Capable of handling high surge currents resulting from transient voltage events, ensuring reliable protection for electronic circuits in harsh operating environments.
• Low Leakage Current: Offers low leakage current under normal operating conditions, minimizing power consumption and ensuring energy efficiency in standby mode.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: Available in a compact SMA (DO-214AC) package, allowing for easy integration into surface-mount PCB designs and providing space-saving benefits.
• RoHS Compliance: Manufactured using environmentally friendly materials and processes, compliant with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) regulations, ensuring environmental sustainability.

Applications:

• Electronic Circuit Protection: Used to protect sensitive electronic circuits, such as ICs (integrated circuits), microcontrollers, sensors, and communication interfaces, from transient voltage events induced by ESD, EFT, or lightning strikes.
• Consumer Electronics: Integrated into consumer electronic devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, TVs, and gaming consoles, to safeguard internal circuits from voltage transients caused by static discharge or power supply fluctuations.
