SMAJ20HE3/61

TVS - Diodes, or Transient Voltage Suppression Diode, are an increasingly common form of surge protection device in applications ranging from consumer electronic devices to industrial facilities. The SMAJ20HE3/61 is a particularly popular choice for such applications, as it offers five times the surge power capability compared to other similar types of devices, and can handle up to 3000 Watts of peak power. It also offers a very fast response time, so it is well suited to protecting high speed signal systems.

The SMAJ20HE3/61 is an unidirectional TVS diode, meaning that it acts as a series element that will only conduct current in one direction. This ensures that current is blocked in the reverse direction, protecting sensitive components from any harmful spikes or transients. The device also offers a wide operating range which extends from -50V to +200V, making it suitable for almost any application where voltage transients may occur.

The under-voltage protection of the SMAJ20HE3/61 is also noteworthy, as it offers the capability to limit the voltage seen by the load during transients. This enables the device to protect sensitive circuitry from over-voltage damage, which could otherwise occur during the power cycle of the device. In addition, the device features 16mm pin spacing which ensures a good connection to other components.

The SMAJ20HE3/61 is particularly well-suited to applications in the automotive industry where the performance of the device is of key importance. The device has been tested extensively for its ability to withstand high shock and vibration conditions, making it the ideal choice as a surge protection device for vehicles. The device has also been tested for mechanical strength, thus confirming its suitability for use in this demanding industry.

Additional applications of the SMAJ20HE3/61 include industrial systems where high levels of electrical noise may be present. The device is designed to protect systems from short-term voltage transients caused by other equipment in close proximity, or by power supply disruptions. The device is also suitable for protecting against electrostatic discharge, making it the ideal choice in applications such as medical instruments and laboratory equipment.

In summary, the SMAJ20HE3/61 is an excellent choice of TVS diode, offering a wide operating range with good protection against transients, under-voltage protection, and robust mechanical strength for use in a range of applications. The device is well suited to use in automotive systems, industrial systems, and medical equipment due to its wide operating range, surge protection ability, and its ability to protect against electrostatic discharge.
