Working Principle

The SMBJ10CA-M3/52 is an “avalanche breakdown diode,” and its working principle is based on the avalanche effect. A forward voltage is applied to the diode, and when this voltage exceeds the avalanche voltage, the diode allows a large current flow that can be quickly absorbed. The diode then clamps the voltage to a safe level and suppresses the transient voltages. The SMBJ10CA-M3/52 is manufactured and tested in a variety of configurations for different applications. The most important feature of this diode is its ultra low capacitance (<1.0pF), which makes it suitable for high-frequency applications. Additionally, the diode has a low clamping voltage (VCL) allowing it to easily handle high surge currents up to 10A. Additionally, the diode has high peak power dissipation which ensures that it can absorb large transients efficiently. The SMBJ10CA-M3/52 has a low dynamic impedance making it ideal for high-speed transient protection. Finally, the SMBJ10CA-M3/52 is highly reliable, making it suitable for long-term protection of high-value components.

In short, the SMBJ10CA-M3/52 is an ideal voltage transient suppressor for a wide range of applications requiring high-speed protection of integrated circuits, power-supplies, modems, USB and other data lines. The SMBJ10CA-M3/52 is manufactured and tested in a number of configurations to ensure that it is suitable for different applications. It is designed for high-reliability and is capable of absorbing transients efficiently while providing optimum protection.
