JAN1N3613

JAN1N3613, a transil by STMicroelectronics, is an unidirectional or bidirectional overvoltage protection device. It is available in the packages of SC-70 and SOT-323, and the leadless SON packages. Suitable for a variety of applications, one of which is an overvoltage clamp circuit. It can help to protect electrical/electronic equipment from unwanted voltage spikes, and control the inrush current.

JAN1N3613 is especially suitable for the protection of low voltage and sensitive circuits against transient voltage surges or overvoltage drops from external sources. It has a wide operating voltage range of 55V to 200V, with low capacitance values and breakover voltages bilaterally symmetrical,so it can be effectively used in bidirectional, overvoltage clamping applications. It is also suitable for clamping up to the breakdown voltage level without the need of external auxiliary series resistors.

In terms of screening, it is fully compliant with Deutsche Industrie Norm (DIN) 40045, a European industrial standard that defines environmental stress requirements of electronic components. This makes it particularly suitable for use in automotive, medical and general industrial electronics.

The main features of the JAN1N3613 transil include: maximum power dissipation of 470mW, peak pulse current of 50A, maximum operating temperature of 125°C, typical junction capacitance of 2.5pF and striking voltage of 5.5V. The transil is also available with a variety of leadforms such as Radial, SMD and Axial, allowing for a wide range of circuit configuration possibilities.

The working principle of JAN1N3613 is quite straightforward. It has two terminals, one connected to ground, and the other connected to the circuit being protected. The working voltage of JAN1N3613 lies between the peak pulsed current and the maximium um allowable voltage. When the voltage across these two terminals exceeds the breakthrough voltage, the transil conducts and the voltage across it drops. This prevents the surge from propagating to the input of the protected unit.

Therefore, the JAN1N3613 represents a great solution for providing fast, unidirectional and symmetrical over-voltage protection. As it is very small, lightweight and inexpensive, it is suitable for many different types of applications, especially those in automotive, medical and general industrial applications, where noise, cost and space are the main concern.

In conclusion, the JAN1N3613 offers fast, efficient and cost-effective overvoltage protection. With its compact design, strong immunity to external noise and outstanding surge protection performance, it is suitable for a variety of applications. In addition, it is RoHS compliant and fully compatible with DIN 40045.
