SMDA03-6E3/TR13

TVS-Diodes

A Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diode is an electronic component designed to protect electrical and electronic components from short-duration, high-energy electrical transients such as those caused by a lightning strike. A TVS diode is essentially a sophisticated version of a Zener diode. TVS diodes are often used in combination with other protection devices to provide comprehensive protection against ESD, transient surges, and other voltage events.

SMDA03-6E3/TR13 application field and working principle

The SMDA03-6E3/TR13 is a part of high efficiency Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes. This part is designed to protect circuit from voltage transients induced by lightning and other transient voltage events. The SMDA03-6E3/TR13 is a unidirectional TVS diode, providing a low forward voltage drop and fast recovery time. It features an epoxy package, ideal for soldering to a PCB and is suitable for high-speed circuits where low inductance is required.

The SMDA03-6E3/TR13 is designed with a breakdown voltage of 5.6V and maximum surge current of 3A. It also features a maximum peak pulse power dissipation of 600W. Its reverse breakdown voltage is 6V and it has operating junction temperature range from -55°C to +175°C. The minimum clamping voltage is 17.7V and the peak pulse current is 10A. The SMDA03-6E3/TR13 is constructed with built-in MOV technology which provides an instantaneous reaction to transient voltages.

The SMDA03-6E3/TR13 works on a principle of temporarily changing its resistance when exposed to a transient voltage, allowing the current to pass through the device until the voltage level drops below its rated breakdown voltage. The TVS diode absorbs and dissipates the transient energy, thus providing protection for other sensitive devices connected to the circuit. The reverse leakage current of the SMDA03-6E3/TR13 is typically 0.1 microamps at room temperature, making it an ideal choice for high-speed digital and communication circuitry.

The SMDA03-6E3/TR13 is used in many different applications, including automotive, communication, industrial control systems, computer peripherals, consumer computers, telecom and power protection. Its robust design is suitable for a variety of environments, including high temperature, humid, and corrosive conditions. The SMDA03-6E3/TR13 is the ideal choice for protecting sensitive electronic devices against ESD, lightning strikes and other surges.
