TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diodes are designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes. The SMC5K17AHM3/I is a unidirectional, surface-mount TVS diode designed to protect against overvoltage in automotive applications. It is designed for use in circuits with voltages up to 35 VDC.

This diode provides fast response times, low clamping voltage, and ESD immunity up to 25 kilovolts (kV) for automotive applications. The diode has a low leakage current, a wide operating temperature range, and a low resistance option, making it an ideal choice for circuit protection in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronic applications.

This device is available in an I-Lead or Gull Wing package. The I-Lead package is small in size and has a higher packing density than other packages. The Gull Wing package is larger, but it can be soldered easier and provides better heat dissipation. The diode is RoHS compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified.

The SMC5K17AHM3/I is an ideal component for protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and overvoltage in automotive applications. The device can protect sensitive components from voltage spikes up to 35 VDC. The device has a low on-state resistance, fast response time, low leakage current, and a wide operating temperature range. It offers excellent protection in single or multi-line protection designs.

The SMC5K17AHM3/I has an amazing working principle. It has an avalanche voltage which is the spike voltage at which the diode enters avalanche breakdown. Once the spike voltage reaches the avalanche voltage level, the diode starts to conduct current and the voltage drops to a low level. This process happens in a matter of nanoseconds and dissipates the surge energy. The device is designed to work in emergency situations, such as lightning strikes, power surges, and ESD.

In addition, the SMC5K17AHM3/I diode has an extremely high surge current capability, allowing it to protect against large surge events. Its low operating temperature range and RoHS compliance ensures its reliability and longevity in harsh environments. Its I and G packages offer design flexibility for automotive applications.

The SMC5K17AHM3/I provides reliable protection in automotive applications, from ESD and overvoltage surges. The device has a fast response time, a low clamping voltage, wide operating temperature range, and low leakage current. Its I and G packages offer design flexibility and high packing density for high-performance automotive circuit protection. This TVS diode is AEC-Q101 qualified and RoHS compliant, making it ideal for the most demanding automotive applications.
