SMB8J8.0C-E3/52

TVS diodes, also known as Transient Voltage Suppressors, are the devices used for protecting a circuit from high voltage transients or spikes. As an example, the SMB8J8.0C-E3/52 TVS diode offers an impressive capability to withstand surges up to 52V, and is used in a variety of applications.

SMB8J8.0C-E3/52 is a unidirectional TVS diode, meaning it can only work in a single direction-from the anode to the cathode. This diode is perhaps most popularly used for over-voltage protection of automotive electronics and industrial controllers. It is typically connected in parallel with the protected circuit and can be inserted between two points of a circuit to limit the voltage or current transients, protecting the system from damage caused by excess electrical current or voltage.

The SMB8J8.0C-E3/52 TVS diode is ideally suited for automotive applications, featuring a low capacitance-to-voltage ratio, high frequency transient surge protection and low leakage current. It also offers long term resistance against surge up to 50V, and its low capacitance ensures minimal power loss, resulting in improved operational efficiency.

With a peak power of 1.3kW at 8/20μs, the dielectric breakdown voltage of this TVS diode is rated at 62V. Its bidirectional operating temperature ranges from -55°C to 125°C, and the insulation resistance is a minimum of 1000MΩ at normal temperature. It’s also designed with a low shunt capacitance for superior transient response.

The SMB8J8.0C-E3/52 is particularly significant for protecting communications and automotive systems from transient voltage spikes. It basically acts as a fuse, but instead of cutting off the circuit from any further current draw, the diode will continue to conduct the current and absorb the excess voltage as heat. The diode is designed to withstand a certain amount of power and heat, dissipating it into the ambient environment.

There are many different types of TVS diode available on the market, but when it comes to protecting your system, the SMB8J8.0C-E3/52 is one of the best. This reliable diode is designed to protect both the automotive and industrial electronics from damaging transient surges, while its low capacitance ensures minimal power loss. Its operating temperature ranges from -55°C to 125°C, and it has insulation resistance of 1000MΩ at normal temperature.

In conclusion, the SMB8J8.0C-E3/52 TVS diode offers a reliable and efficient solution for protecting industrial and automotive circuits from high voltage transients. Its operating temperature ranges from -55°C to 125°C, and its insulation resistance is a minimum of 1000MΩ at normal temperature. The diode’s low capacitance ensures minimal power loss, therefore improving operational efficiency. It is also designed to withstand a certain amount of power and heat, dissipating it into the ambient environment.
