SMAJ5.0A

The SMAJ5.0A from AnBon is a robust and reliable transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes and transients. This device is particularly useful in applications where overvoltage protection is critical, such as in telecommunications, automotive electronics, and consumer electronics.

Key Features:

1. Voltage Rating: The SMAJ5.0A is designed to clamp voltage spikes at a breakdown voltage of approximately 5.0 volts, making it suitable for low-voltage applications. Its low clamping voltage helps to ensure that connected devices remain safe from damage during transient events.

2. Power Dissipation: The device can handle a peak power dissipation of up to 400 watts, allowing it to absorb significant energy from voltage spikes without failing. This high power rating is essential for applications that may experience frequent or severe transients.

3. Package Type: The SMAJ5.0A is housed in a surface-mount package, which facilitates easy integration into printed circuit boards (PCBs). The compact size of the SMAJ package allows for efficient use of space in modern electronic designs.

4. Response Time: The diode features a fast response time, typically in the nanosecond range, ensuring that it can react quickly to transient events. This rapid response is crucial for protecting sensitive components that could be damaged by even brief overvoltage conditions.

5. Temperature Range: The SMAJ5.0A operates effectively over a wide temperature range, typically from -55°C to +150°C. This makes it suitable for use in various environments, including those with extreme temperatures.

6. Low Leakage Current: The device exhibits low leakage current under normal operating conditions, which helps to minimize power loss and improve the overall efficiency of the circuit.

7. Applications: Common applications for the SMAJ5.0A include ESD protection for data lines, power supply protection, and safeguarding sensitive components in automotive and industrial electronics.

Electrical Characteristics:

• Reverse Stand-off Voltage (VRWM): 5.0V
• Clamping Voltage (VC): Typically around 8.0V at a specified peak pulse current.
• Peak Pulse Power (PPP): 400W (for a 10/1000μs waveform).
• Capacitance: Low capacitance values, ensuring minimal impact on signal integrity in high-speed applications.

Conclusion:

The SMAJ5.0A from AnBon is an essential component for engineers looking to enhance the reliability and longevity of their electronic designs. Its combination of low clamping voltage, high power handling capability, and fast response time makes it an ideal choice for protecting sensitive circuits from damaging voltage transients.
