5.0SMDJ75A-T7

TVS - Diodes

TVS - Diodes, also known as transient voltage suppression diodes (TVSs), are solid state voltage-clamping devices that can protect against electrical over-voltage or over-current surge events. The 5.0SMDJ75A-T7 is a unidirectional, silicon TVS diode which works on a variety of electronics and electrical components.

Applications of 5.0SMDJ75A-T7

The 5.0SMDJ75A-T7 can be used in a wide range of applications, including automotive, telecommunications, computer, consumer electronics, industrial, medical, and aerospace applications. It is particularly useful for protecting semiconductor electronics components from voltage over-voltage or over-current surge events. It also helps to limiting inrush current, suppressing ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) and controlling voltage transients.

Working Principle

The 5.0SMDJ75A-T7 is designed to suppress transients during periods of over-voltage or over-current events, by quickly and effectively clamping any unwanted or excessive voltage. It operates using a silicon oxide inherent breakdown, which is triggered by incoming over-voltage or overload conditions. The protected circuit will experience a surge which is dissipated by the diode body. Upon the surge exceeding the Zener breakdown voltage, the diode then operates as a low-impedance switch, diverting the extra surge current away from the protected circuit and into the diode, which is then dissipated as heat.

The diode has a peak power capability of 1260 Watts and a peak pulse current of 2.5 kiloAmperes. It offers a low dynamic resistance of 0.2ohms, which gives it very fast response time to transient surges. Additionally, it features service rating of 5 Amperes for continuous reverse leakage.

Conclusion

This article has provided an overview of the 5.0SMDJ75A-T7, a unidirectional silicon TVS diode. We discussed its applications, working principle and features. The diode is ideal for protecting a variety of electronics from over-voltage and over-current surges, and offers fast response time and low impedance for effective clamping of voltage transients.
