TVS diodes are becoming increasingly popular components used in the electronics industry for protection against electrical surges, overvoltages and transients. SM2T18A is one such TVS diodes specifically designed for automotive applications. It comprises a double diode packing, and is based on the common silicon diode technology. The TVS diode may be used to protect devices from overvoltage and transient spikes.

SM2T18A has two internal diodes in a SO-8 package. These are the protection diode and the clamp diode. The protection diode acts as the first-line defense against overvoltages and transients. In the event of overvoltage, the diode diverts current away from the protected components, or device, and into the ground. The redirects the voltage into ground and provides protection to the components.

The second, or clamp diode, is a safeguard system and works in tandem with the protection diode. It is designed to control reverse transient protection. The voltage is compressed until the peak voltage is below the junction breakdown voltage. The excess current is diverted into the device\'s body diode, providing further protection against overvoltages and transients.

SM2T18A also offers a variety of value-added features in order to ensure maximum reliability and robustness. These features include frequency damping, current limitation, high speed response time, and low leakage current.

SM2T18A is suitable for use in automotive applications. It has an operating temperature range of -55C to +135C and is rated for a peak surge current of 66A. The peak surge current rating ensures that it can handle transients with ease, protecting electronic components from damage caused by high-speed pulse events.

SM2T18A is also designed for low leakage current. This is essential for applications where a low overall system power consumption is required such as automotive, industrial or consumer devices. The low leakage current ensures that the power consumption of the device is kept to a minimum.

The SM2T18A is suitable for a broad range of applications including automotive, consumer, industrial, and telecoms applications. The device is particularly well-suited for automotive applications due to its high surge current capability and low overall power consumption. The device ensures protection for key components against transient and overvoltage events, and is particularly effective during power disruption events, providing a stable and dependable form of protection.
