TVS-diodes have been widely used to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients and surges. The SMCJ24CA V7G is a popular unidirectional device in the field of TVS-diodes. This product comes with a wide range of features and capabilities that make it an ideal choice for various applications. This article will provide an overview of the SMCJ24CA V7G, its application fields as well as its working principle.

The SMCJ24CA V7G is a dual power unidirectional TVS-diode. It is designed to provide protection against large voltage transients and surges encountered in electronic systems. The device is constructed with two Zener diodes that are rated for 24V. The Zener diodes are arranged in parallel, allowing for double the reverse voltage protection. The device also includes a built-in transient voltage suppression element that is designed to protect the circuit against high voltage surges. The SMCJ24CA offers a peak pulse power of 2.4kW and an IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity of 25A maximum through a 4/20μs pulse.

The SMCJ24CA V7G can be used in a wide range of applications. It is most commonly used to protect against overvoltage events in low voltage systems, such as telecommunications, consumer electronics, industrial, and automotive applications. The device can also be used to provide protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and radio frequency interference (RFI). It can be used to protect sensitive components in circuits, such as logic gates and memory chips. Additionally, it can be used to limit the voltage transients of a circuit in order to ensure its long-term reliability.

The SMCJ24CA V7G operates on the principle of avalanche breakdown. This is a phenomenon that occurs when a Zener diode is subjected to a high electric field. The electric field causes the electrons in the PN junction to move to the P side, which creates an avalanche of electrons. This results in a current burst that is proportional to the electric field. The avalanche breakdown causes the Zener diode to undergo breakdown and, thus, limit the reverse voltage applied across the diode. The breakdown voltage (V_BR) of the SMCJ24CA is 24V.

The SMCJ24CA V7G also has an internal capacitance that helps to reduce electrical noise and prevent false triggering of the diode. The capacitance is connected in series between the anode and cathode of the diode. This helps to absorb and dissipate the excess energy created by the voltage transient.

In conclusion, the SMCJ24CA V7G is a effective and reliable unidirectional device that can be used in a variety of applications. It offers superior transient voltage and surge protection for electronic systems. The device operates on the principle of avalanche breakdown and is equipped with an internal capacitance that helps to reduce electrical noise and prevent false triggering.
