SMBJ36ATR

TVS - Diodes, from their name, are devices used in the field of electronics for the protection of high voltage circuits. This article will provide an overview of the SMBJ36ATR application field and its working principle.

The SMBJ36ATR is a 600 Watt, Uni-directional TVS (Transient Voltage Snubber) Diodes. It is a transient suppressor that is used in high energy applications such as automotive, telecom, aviation and military applications. The device is also useful for space applications.

SMBJ36ATR has a very low clamp-on capacitance of 415pF and has a wide operating temperature range from -65°C to 175°C. It can withstand peak power dissipation up to 600W and has a low leakage current of 3MO. The device comes in the DO-214 AA form, which is also commonly referred to as SMA.

The SMBJ36ATR can be used in a wide variety of applications such as motor control, laptop and notebook computers, automotive battery systems, power supplies, overvoltage protection, and surge protection. It can be used in combination with RC networks, twist-on crowbars, and current sense resistors.

In terms of its working principle, the device is a unidirectional bidirectional element that works by providing a very low forward voltage drop and a very high reverse standoff voltage. It is thermally stable and can suppress high power and repetitive transients. It can also switch very fast.

The device works by absorbing the energy from a transient and dissipating it as heat. This allows for a properly functioning device with little to no damage. The thermally stable design also protects against electro-static discharge (ESD) and lightning induced surges by providing a low impedance path for current.

The SMBJ36ATR is a great device for overvoltage protection and surge protection, and can provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for many applications. Its wide operating temperature range and thermally stable design makes it an ideal choice for rugged or harsh environmental conditions.
