SMBG14CA-M3/5B

TVS - Diodes, used in many applications, can protect electronics from electrical surges such as lightning strikes, power outages, or ESD. The SMBG14CA-M3/5B is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode, which are commonly used to protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. The SMBG14CA-M3/5B is a bi-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode with an ultra-low capacitance of 1.1pF. This device is designed with a robust glass-passivated junction, providing excellent ruggedness and stability.

The SMBG14CA-M3/5B is availably in a wide range of operating voltages, from 85 V to 230 V. This makes the device suitable for a variety of applications, from appliance control systems to automotive electronics. Its peak power rating of 18W provides excellent circuit protection against transient voltage surges.

The SMBG14CA-M3/5B works by using a Zener diode in its reverse-biased state. When the voltage across the diode exceeds its breakdown voltage, the Zener diode conducts and dissipates the surge energy. This prevents the voltage across the diode from entering the protected device and causing damage or destruction. The device\'s low capacitance makes it ideal for high-speed protection as it effectively absorbs ESD pulses, which can occur in many environments.

The SMBG14CA-M3/5B provides fast, effective ESD protection and is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as automotive electronics, consumer electronics, and industrial control systems. The device\'s low capacitance and fast response time make it especially well-suited to high-speed applications. The SMBG14CA-M3/5B is also RoHS compliant, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious designs.

The SMBG14CA-M3/5B is a great choice for Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode protection. Its low capacitance, wide operating range, and robust construction make it ideal for a variety of applications. With its fast response time and RoHS compliance, the SMBG14CA-M3/5B is an excellent choice for providing effective ESD protection.
