3.0SMCJ5.0ATR Circuit Protection

TVS (transient voltage suppression) diodes are an important component for electrical and electronic systems, designed to protect expensive and sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes and transients caused by lightning, switching, ESD (electrostatic discharge), and other electrical transients. The SMCJ5.0ATR is a 5.0V unidirectional surface-mount TVS diode that is used to protect sensitive electronic components from transient voltage spikes and transients.

The SMCJ5.0ATR is a unidirectional diode that can reduce the damage from the effects of electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is designed to absorb transients and limit the voltage across an electronic component to less than the specified limit of the device it is protecting. The SMCJ is a transient voltage suppressor designed to protect sensitive electronic components from momentary voltage surges above the rated voltage.

The SMCJ5.0ATR is designed to protect components such as microprocessor devices, digital logic devices, and linear/switch-mode power supplies. The SMCJ5.0ATR can be used in applications up to 5.0 volts, and its peak pulse power rating (at 10/1000μs waveforms) is 1000 Watts. The SMCJ5.0ATR has an ESD protection level of 15kV (contact discharge) and 20kV (air discharge), making it suitable for a wide variety of applications.

The SMCJ5.0ATR is also equipped with low leakage current in the clamping mode, and its low capacitance makes it suitable for high-speed applications. The diode is placed in a surface-mount package, and is available in a wide variety of package sizes. The SMCJ5.0ATR is a RoHS-compliant device and is ideal for use in automotive, medical, and military applications.

The SMCJ5.0ATR TVS Diode is designed for protection against transient voltage spikes in low voltage electronic systems. In order to protect an electronic component from overvoltage, the TVS diode is connected in parallel to the component being protected. When an overvoltage occurs, the TVS diode will conduct current and reduce the voltage level to a safe level.

The working principle of the SMCJ5.0ATR TVS Diode is based on the avalanche breakdown effect. When the voltage across the diode exceeds the avalanche breakdown voltage, known as the breakdown or clamping voltage, the diode begins to conduct current. This current “clamps” the voltage across the diode to the desired break down voltage, reducing the voltage across the electronic component below the level which would cause damage.

The SMCJ5.0ATR is an excellent choice for transient voltage surge protection. It is designed for use in a wide variety of applications, including automotive, medical, industrial, and military applications. It has a low forward voltage drop, making it an excellent choice for protecting sensitive components. Its low capacitance makes it suitable for high speed applications, and its RoHS compliance make it suitable for use in a variety of markets.
