TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors) diodes are becoming increasingly essential components in many of today’s devices. They provide protection from high-voltage transients such as electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electrical fast transients (EFT). The SMAJ160A-M3/61 is a type of TVS diode. This article provides an overview of its application fields and working principle.

The SMAJ160A-M3/61 is designed for data and signal protection against high electrical noise. It can be used in environments that require protection from ESD such as computer workstations, medical and laboratory equipment, and industrial process control equipment. The SMAJ160A-M3/61 can also be used in applications where EMI/RFI radiation is a concern.

The SMAJ160A-M3/61 has a rated stand-off voltage of 160V. It is non-polarized (bi-directional) and supports a maximum clamping voltage of 200V. The part has a low leakage current and a fast response time, making it ideal for high-speed data line protection. The SMAJ160A-M3/61 is also UL1449 3rd edition and IEC61000-4-2 listed, making it suitable for use in AC surge applications. This part is RoHS compliant.

The SMAJ160A-M3/61 is composed of a silicon diode connected between the P and N terminals. This diode will only conduct current in one direction. When the voltage on the P terminal exceeds the voltage on the N terminal, the diode will become forward-biased. Current will then flow from the P terminal through the diode to the N terminal. This current will increase until the diode reaches its maximum current carrying capability. When the voltage on the N terminal exceeds the voltage on the P terminal, the diode will become reverse-biased. No current will then flow from the N to the P terminal. This single diode provides protection against both positive and negative voltage transients.

The SMAJ160A-M3/61 is designed to provide fast response times for data and signal protection. The diode has a peak pulse current of 500A and a break-down voltage of 160V. The device can also withstand repetitive ESD pulses of up to 15kV. The SMAJ160A-M3/61 has a surge life rating of over 100 times, making it highly reliable.

In summary, the SMAJ160A-M3/61 is a non-polarized TVS diode designed for data and signal protection against high electrical noise. It is UL1449 3rd edition and IEC61000-4-2 listed, making it suitable for use in AC surge applications. The diode has a peak pulse current of 500A and a break-down voltage of 160V. The SMAJ160A-M3/61 is highly reliable and suitable for a variety of applications such as computer workstations, medical and laboratory equipment, and industrial process control equipment.
