It has a very low leakage current making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including commercial or industrial applications, such as industrial and consumer electronics, printed circuit boards, HVAC systems and more.

The 5KASMC18AHM3_A/I has several features which make it well suited for a wide range of applications, such as its low forward voltage drop, fast response time and ability to maintain reliable operation even in harsh environments.

The 5KASMC18AHM3_A/I is available in various package styles, such as an 8-pin SOT-23, a SOIC-8 or an SMA package, so it can easily be integrated into a wide range of products and application requirements. In addition, it also has an operating temperature range from -55°C to 125°C, allowing for a broad range of industrial and consumer applications.

The 5KASMC18AHM3_A/I has a very efficient working principle that ensures reliable protection against the damaging effects of transients or overvoltage. This working principle involves using two metal-oxide-semiconductor layers consisting of an anode and a cathode. When a transient or overvoltage event occurs, the two layers become polarized and an avalanche occurs, causing a high current flow which instantly absorbs and dissipates the energy caused by the transient or overvoltage event.

The 5KASMC18AHM3_A/I is ideal for protecting all industrial and consumer electronic equipment from the damaging effects of transients and overvoltage. It has a low forward voltage drop, which ensures reduced heat generation and improved energy efficiency. In addition to its reliable protection against transients and overvoltage, the 5KASMC18AHM3_A/I also offers excellent surge current protection and high reliability due to its low leakage current.

The 5KASMC18AHM3_A/I is designed for easy integration into a wide range of industrial and consumer applications, including industrial and consumer electronic equipment, printed circuit boards, HVAC systems, and more. Its low forward voltage drop, fast response time, and ability to maintain reliable operation even in harsh environments make it a great choice for any application that requires reliable protection against transients, overvoltage, and surge current protection.
