Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) diodes, also known as surge suppressors, are unidirectional devices designed to protect delicate electrical components from potentially damaging effects of high-voltage transients. SMCJ36A-13-F is one such TVS diode and is best suited for applications that require protection from high-energy spikes. In this article we will look at the application field and working principle of the SMCJ36A-13-F.

The SMCJ36A-13-F is a glass passivated junction TVS diode designed to protect sensitive electronic components from lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and AC and DC fast transients. It has an unidirectional snap-off voltage of 36V, breakdown voltage of 13V, and a low clamping voltage of 27.6V. The diode is also engineered to suppress power line-based transients with its maximum peak pulse current of 22A (having a 10/1000μs pulse width) and its typical capacitance of 700pF.

Because of its advanced features, the SMCJ36A-13-F is ideal for a wide range of applications. This includes AC/DC power line and telecom, automotive, consumer electronics, avionics, and industrial applications. This diode is also often used in markets as diverse as mobile phones, HID lighting, digital electronics, and computers. As it is also RoHS-compliant. it can be used to passively protect microcontroller and UART lines, data lines, and other high speed digital lines in sensitive electronic equipment.

SMCJ36A-13-F working principle is based on the fact that current cannot flow into or out of a reverse-biased p-n junction diode. When a TVS diode is reverse biased, the voltage across its terminals must remain below the breakdown voltage. Once the peak reverse voltage across the diode exceeds the breakdown voltage, a very low resistance path is created through which the flow of electricity easily takes place. This process is used to absorb the transient current and prevent it from reaching other sensitive components in a circuit.

TVS diodes like the SMCJ36A-13-F also offer a number of advantages compared to other forms of protection. For one, TVS diodes offer a low insertion loss and a fast response time. They can be used to protect against both AC and DC transients. Furthermore, TVS diodes are easy to install and require no maintenance once they are in place.

In conclusion, the SMCJ36A-13-F is an ideal TVS diode when it comes to protecting sensitive electrical components from high-voltage transients. With its high surge current capability, low reverse clamping voltage, and low capacitance, this diode can be used in a wide range of applications. It also offers a number of advantages compared to other protection methods, such as low insertion loss and fast response time.
