SMB8J6.0C-E3/5B

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes provide overvoltage protection by clamping voltage spikes to a preset level. These components are primarily engineered for the protection of electronics from lightning-induced transient surges, but can also protect from a range of other electrostatic discharges (ESD). The SMB8J6.0C-E3/5B is a chip-scale package type TVS diode that offers ultra-low leakage current, making it an ideal choice for the protection of sensitive electronics.

Application Field

The SMB8J6.0C-E3/5B is a surface-mount TVS diode designed to protect sensitive electronic components from overvoltage damage. Low-voltage, low-power devices are particularly vulnerable to breakdown due to exposure to ESD, lightning strikes and other surges. The SMB8J6.0C-E3/5B offers a reverse stand-off voltage of 6.0V as well as an operational temperature range of -55–+175°C. This device can be used in a variety of applications, including USB ports, consumer electronics, mobile devices, networking equipment, automotive systems, and industrial control systems.

Working Principle

The SMB8J6.0C-E3/5B TVS diode works by providing a “clamping voltage” towards which the voltage spike is diverted, limiting the peak voltage across the device. The clamping voltage is pre-set and does not change under normal conditions. When the SMB8J6.0C is exposed to an electrostatic discharge, transients, or surges, the device provides a low resistance path to the ground, which minimizes the overvoltage to a safe level. The device features ultra-low leakage current, low capacitance, and fast response time, making it an ideal solution for protecting sensitive high-speed devices from electrical transients.
