SMCJ12CHE3/9AT

TVS - Diodes are a type of protection device used to protect devices from transient overvoltage events caused by peak currents. TVS - Diodes are used in a wide range of applications, from general data line protection to peak power management. The SMCJ12CHE3/9AT is one of these protective devices, and is designed to provide protection against transient overvoltage events.

The SMCJ12CHE3/9AT is a bidirectional 12V device, with a reverse voltage of 9V. It offers a fast response time of 15ns, and a peak pulse current of 5500A. This is more than sufficient for most applications where peak currents need to be handled. It is also suitable for high temperature applications, with a maximum operating temperature of 175°C.

The SMCJ12CHE3/9AT’s main function is to protect the system by clamping overvoltage transients. This is achieved by the TVS - Diode detecting the overvoltage, and conducting excess current away from the protected device. The diode itself will dissipate the excess energy generated by the transient, reducing the overall risk to the system.

The SMCJ12CHE3/9AT is widely used in data line protection and peak power management, for protection against transients. It is used in applications such as power supplies, lightning surge arresters, and automotive circuits. It can also be used to protect control systems, communication systems, telecommunications systems, and A/V equipment. In addition, it can also be used to protect sensitive electronics and microelectronic devices.

The SMCJ12CHE3/9AT is a versatile and reliable device for protecting systems against transient overvoltage. It is capable of handling large transient events, and is suitable for a wide range of applications. Its fast response time and high temperature rating make it an ideal choice for many industrial and consumer applications.
