SM30T6.8AY

Transient voltage suppressors (TVS) are designed to protect sensitive circuits from voltage spikes caused by events such as lightning and power line transients or ESD (electrostatic discharge). TVS diodes provide a very fast, effective clamp to the supply, diverting potentially damaging electrical energy away from the circuity.

The SM30T6.8AY is an unidirectional, 600-watt shielded TVS diode, specifically designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage surges caused by transient or ESD. It can handle a maximum pulse power rating of 600 W. The device has a working voltage range of 6.8 V to 170 V and works in a temperature range from -55°C to +150°C.

SM30T6.8AY is a 10 V stand off voltage device with double sided, shielded construction and a V-I characteristic providing protection against both ESD and transients. The device provides symmetrical and unequal peak pulse current values for fast response against fast, low-and high-level transients in a single package. The SM30T6.8AY is designed to be used in a variety of applications such as telecommunications, computers, automotive electronics and industrial equipment.

The SM30T6.8AY is also designed to protect sensitive circuits from electrical over-voltage. Its breakdown voltage rating is between 6.8V and 170V, with an average holding current of 10mA, which is usually more than enough to protect sensitive circuits against overvoltage. The peak surge current rating is between 10A and 15A, depending on the pulse width. The device also has a low capacitance rating of 1pF.

The SM30T6.8AY device is constructed using a special process that includes a stainless steel housing, high-temperature alloy metal oxide silicon epitaxial structure, lead-free terminals and electroless nickel plating. The device has an optimum power dissipation rating of 0.5 watts and a high junction temperature rating of 150°C. It also has a high temperature resistance rating of 170°C, making it suitable for use in high-temperature environments.

The SM30T6.8AY is designed to provide superior protection against over-voltage surges, ESD and transients. With its fast response time and shielded construction, it offers superior performance in a wide range of applications. It is a reliable and cost-effective solution for protecting sensitive circuits from damage due to voltage transients and spikes.
