SMBJ26D-M3/I

TVS - Diodes

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors) diodes are a type of diode designed to protect sensitive electronics and other components from voltage transients such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning surges, and electrical noise. TVS diodes are designed to withstand and divert high-voltage transients, thus protecting electronic components from damage and unwanted operation.

A well-known example of a TVS diode is the SMBJ26D-M3/I. This diode is a SMD package having a rectifier structure and is used for general purpose application protection. It can be used to protect sensitive devices from voltage transients such as Lightning surges, ESD and other high-voltage transients.

Application Field

The SMBJ26D-M3/I diode is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) that is designed to protect various types of applications, including LEDs, ICs, and other sensitive components from voltage transients. It provides a fast response and low leakage current protection for applications such as computer peripherals, telecommunications equipment, and industrial equipment.

Working Principle

TVS diode technology works by clamping the voltage transient to a safe level that the protected component can withstand. When the voltage transient exceeds the breakdown voltage of the diode, the diode starts to conduct current and thus protects the components by clamping the voltage transient to a safe voltage level. The SMBJ26D-M3/I diode has a maximum peak pulse power dissipation of 390 W and a breakdown voltage between 22.4 and 26.0 V.

The SMBJ26D-M3/I diode is a unidirectional device that does not generate any reverse current and is designed to protect components from overvoltage transients. In addition, this diode has an operating temperature ranging from -55 °C to 125 °C, providing a reliable protection with a fast response time.

The SMBJ26D-M3/I diode is an excellent choice for general purpose application protection and is widely used for LED, ICs, and other sensitive components protection applications. It provides a reliable protection with fast response time, low leakage current, high peak pulse power dissipation, and a wide operating temperature range.
