SMBJ6.5A-13

The SMJB6.5A-13 TVS Diode is a high-efficiency, ultra-fast, uni-directional protection device. It operates by clamping action, which is formed when the breakdown voltage of the diode is exceeded with a positive or negative spike. In this situation, the diode will turn on and start to conduct in order to protect the circuit. It will reduce the amount of voltage until it dissipates the energy spike, and eventually return to normal operation.

The SMJB6.5A-13 TVS Diode is a dual-biasing, two-terminal device. It consists of two series-connected zener diodes. The first diode is the PN junction, which is designed to provide over-voltage protection. The second diode is an avalanche diode, which will conduct when the over-voltage protection is exceeded. The two diodes together provide a low-impedance path to dissipate ESD and EFT transients.

The TVS Diodes have a low capacitance, which ensures that over-voltage spikes are quickly discharged without significantly closing the signal out. In addition, they have very low parasitic inductance, which ensures that voltage overshoots and undershoots are prevented from occurring. The TVS Diode also features high avalanche guarantee rating, which ensures its high breakdown voltage and fast response time.

The SMJB6.5A-13 TVS Diode is suitable for use in a wide variety of applications, including automotive, communications, and power supplies. It is especially effective in harsh environments and can effectively protect against ESD, EFT, and lightning spikes.
