SMAJ6.5C-E3/61

The SMAJ6.5C-E3/61 is a 600-Watt bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect complex and sensitive electronics from voltage surges. It is part of the SM series of TVS Diodes from Littelfuse, and is used in a variety of automotive electronic systems and devices.

The SMAJ6.5C-E3/61 is a surface mount device which provides a reliable solution for protecting electronic components from ESD (electrostatic discharge), EFT (electrical fast transients), and surge events. It is a dual-bi-directional device with a breakdown voltage of 6.5 Volts. It is rated for a peak surge power rating of 1,000 Watts. The reverse stand-off voltage for the diode is 5.8 Volts, and its peak current rating is 6.0 Amps.

The SMAJ6.5C-E3/61 TVS diode features a highly reliable Zener diode structure which is specifically designed for high-speed transients. This structure allows the diode to absorb ESD events without generating a potentially damaging latch up condition. The diode also features an encapsulated package, which provides increased thermal and electrical stability and further prevents damage to sensitive electronics.

The SMAJ6.5C-E3/61 is designed to protect a variety of applications, including automotive ECU processors, industrial controllers, batteries, and relays. It is also well-suited for applications requiring continuous high-temperature operating performance, such as engine control modules, dashboards, and hybrid vehicles.

In terms of functionality, the SMAJ6.5C-E3/61 provides a robust ESD protection solution. When an ESD event occurs, the diode absorbs the energy of the strike and directs it into an internal Zener diode. This avoids any damage to the underlying component which could be caused by a direct discharge. Additionally, the diode is designed to have a low clamping voltage in order to further reduce the stress generated during an ESD event.

The SMAJ6.5C-E3/61 TVS diode provides reliable ESD protection in a variety of environments. It is specifically designed to operate in high temperature conditions, making it an excellent choice for automotive applications. Furthermore, its compact size allows for easy installation in applications with limited space.
