SMAJ28HE3/61

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors) diodes are widely used in the consumer electronics industry to protect vulnerable areas of a circuit from voltages exceeding a certain threshold. This type of diode is very effective in preventing static discharge, power surges, and other types of electrical interference. The SMAJ28HE3/61 is a TVS diode with a high-rip current rating, low capacitance, and a wide reverse breakdown voltage rating.

The SMAJ28HE3/61 diode is designed for applications such as telecommunications and automotive electronics, where dealing with electrical interferences is of paramount importance. It is specifically designed to provide protection from transient over-voltage events by clamping high voltage spikes to the breakdown voltage. When the transient voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, the diode will enter an avalanche breakdown mode, allowing a large current to flow, thereby protecting the circuit from damage.

The SMAJ28HE3/61 TVS diode is a low capacitance, high power diode that provides maximum protection against electrical interference. It has a maximum clamping voltage of more than 28 Volts, a maximum peak pulse power rating of 600 watts and a maximum clamping current rating of 3. milliamperes. It also has a low capacitance of 0.65 pF, which helps keep the pulse waveform shape intact. As such, the SMAJ28HE3/61 diode can be used to provide reliable protection against surges up to 100A or even higher.

In addition to providing surge protection, the SMAJ28HE3/61TVS diode also helps protect electronic components from ESD (Electrostatic Discharge). This is achieved by the diode acting as a short in a transistor-like fashion when a high voltage is present. The diode will clamp the voltage to its breakdown voltage to avert any further increase in voltage. This effectively blocks any high-voltage ESD spike from damaging the circuitry.

The SMAJ28HE3/61 TVS diode is easy to install and provides reliable protection from high voltage surges and ESD. Its low capacitance helps keep waveform shapes intact and prevents any distortion. Its high rip current rating makes it highly suitable for use in telecommunications and automotive electronics where protection from electrical interference is of utmost importance.

In conclusion, the SMAJ28HE3/61 TVS diode is a useful device for handling high voltage surges and ESD. Its low capacitance, high rip current rating and wide reverse breakdown voltage rating make it suitable for use in a wide range of applications. It is easy to install and provides effective protection from voltage transients and ESD.
