SMBJ26A

The SMBJ26A is a surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to provide protection against transient voltage spikes and surges in electronic circuits. TVS diodes are semiconductor devices that divert excess voltage away from sensitive components, safeguarding them from damage caused by voltage transients such as electrostatic discharge (ESD) and lightning surges.

Key Features:

• Transient Voltage Suppression: The SMBJ26A offers reliable protection against transient voltage spikes and surges, ensuring the integrity of electronic circuits.
• Reverse Standoff Voltage: With a reverse standoff voltage of 26V, the TVS diode clamps the voltage below this level, preventing damage to downstream components.
• Peak Pulse Power Dissipation: It has a peak pulse power rating, indicating its ability to handle transient power pulses without degradation.
• Low Clamping Voltage: The TVS diode provides a low clamping voltage, limiting the voltage across protected components during transient events.
• Fast Response Time: It features a fast response time to transient events, rapidly diverting excess voltage away from sensitive components.
• Surface-Mount Package: Packaged in a surface-mount SMB package, the SMBJ26A is suitable for automated assembly processes and offers space-saving benefits.
• RoHS Compliance: The TVS diode complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, ensuring environmental friendliness and regulatory compliance.

Applications:

• Communication Systems: Ethernet ports, telecom interfaces, and data communication lines requiring surge protection against lightning-induced surges and ESD events.
• Consumer Electronics: USB ports, audio/video interfaces, and power supply circuits in consumer electronics devices such as smartphones, tablets, and home entertainment systems.
• Industrial Equipment: Motor drives, industrial sensors, and control systems in factory automation and process control applications requiring robust transient protection.
• Automotive Electronics: On-board electronics, CAN bus interfaces, and automotive sensors requiring protection against load dump, ESD, and other automotive transients.
• Power Supplies: DC power rails, voltage regulators, and power distribution circuits in electronic equipment requiring protection against voltage spikes and transient events.
• Medical Devices: Medical imaging equipment, patient monitoring systems, and diagnostic devices requiring reliable protection against ESD and other transient events.
