TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are widely used for protection against voltage spikes caused by lightning, surges from neighboring equipment or electrostatic discharges. The SMAJ16A-M3/5A is one such device which is designed to protect sensitive components from such induced surges. The device comprises of two diodes connected electrically in parallel and packaged in a single package, enabling it to absorb higher amount of surge current compared to a single device.

The SMAJ16A-M3/5A offers low leakage current and fast response time, a crucial feature for transient surge protection. With a peak pulse power dissipation of 2400 W, the device can handle up to 16A of surge current, making it suitable for protecting ICs, AC/DC switching power supplies, industrial computers, and other sensitive electronic equipment. Its low profile SMD package also makes it suitable for high frequency communication and wireless applications.

The SMAJ16A-M3/5A is generally used in other applications such as automotive, medical and consumer electronic equipment, where it is used to protect low signal lines from electric disturbances. The device works on the principle of dielectric breakdown, where the electric field across the junction of the diode increases exponentially with the increase in voltage, leading to a disruption of the Diode’s reverse-bias and an avalanche of current.

The SMAJ16A-M3/5A is designed to operate over a wide temperature range as well as over extended time periods without affecting the circuit’s performance. It also comes with an ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection of up to 8 kilovolts. Additionally, the device can handle high peak current pulses such as those caused by sparks, arcs, or inductive loads, further increasing its ability to protect sensitive components.

The SMAJ16A-M3/5A is a versatile device for a wide range of applications that require advanced transient surge protection. It is designed to provide critical protection without affecting the performance of the connected components, and its low current leakage, fast response time, and high peak power dissipation rating make it an ideal solution for most surge protection needs.
