The SM15T100CA is a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) component used to protect electronics from transients in a power supply bus, thus ensuring their correct operation. It is designed to operate in the 125-V to 4 kV range. It has a peak power rating of 800 Watts, making it suitable for virtually any application.

The SM15T100CA is a bidirectional TVS diode, which means it can protect a circuit from transients in both the positive and negative direction. It has a peak output current of 10A and a breakdown voltage of 8V. It is constructed from silicon dioxide, which helps to divert current away from vulnerable components when the diode is in operation.

The SM15T100CA can be used both in surface mount and through-hole applications. It is a popular choice for a variety of power supply lines and signal lines, such as the supply lines of audio and video equipment, power controllers, power switches and motor controllers. It can also be used in data lines, such as USB, HDMI, and Ethernet cables.

The working principle behind the SM15T100CA lies in the breakdown voltage mentioned above. When a surge or transient over-voltage is applied, the device breaks down and begins to conduct current. This increased current results in a voltage drop across the device, protecting the power lines that are connected to it. The silicon dioxide construction of the diode helps to limit the peak current and dissipate it over time, preventing further damage to the components it is protecting.

Overall, the SM15T100CA is a widely-used voltage suppressor designed to protect electronics from voltage transients in a wide variety of applications. Its low capacitance and high peak ratings make it an excellent choice for both through-hole and surface mount applications. Its silicon dioxide construction ensures that current is safely directed away from vulnerable components and it is also able to dissipate current over a longer period of time.
