SMAJ6.5CA-TP Circuit Protection

Transient voltage suppression diodes (TVS) are designed to protect electronic components from voltage spikes. The SMAJ6.5CA-TP is a uni-directional transient voltage suppressor, an efficient and reliable protection device. This device is not only used in data, communication and signal line protection, but also for consumer electronics, automotive and industrial applications.

The SMAJ6.5CA-TP is designed as a discrete low-capacitance transient voltage suppressor for ESD protection, and it is also known as an electrostatic discharge diode. The device is available in bidirectional and unidirectional versions. It features a low capacitance of 9pF and a voltage clamping of 6.5V. The clamping voltage tolerance is about +/-30%.

The SMAJ6.5CA-TP has a complete array of performance parameters that include peak pulse current surge of 2.0A, off-state peak voltage of 5.5V, breakover current of 10mA, clamping voltage of 6.5V, maximum clamping voltage of 10V, breakdown voltage of 5.5V, maximum allowable dV/dt of 350V/us, and a maximum dI/dt of 10A/us. The device can withstand transient voltages up to 600V over sine wave pulse with a delta of 10%.

The working principle of the SMAJ6.5CA-TP is quite simple. When exposed to transient voltage pulses, the device quickly conducts current through its internal structure. This increases the voltage at the junction, which clamps the sense voltage at 6.5V. In this way, the device provides maximum protection for the connected components.

The SMAJ6.5CA-TP is an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, including automotive, industrial, consumer electronic, data, communication and signal line protection. It is designed to provide reliable protection against ESD pulses generated by electrostatic discharge and electrical transients. This device is capable of delivering fast response time, low clamping voltage and low capacitance, making it an ideal choice for voltage transient protection.
