SMDJ28AHR7G

SMDJ28AHR7G is a transient voltage suppression diode, commonly referred to as a TVS diode. TVS diode is a special type of diode used to protect sensitive electronic components from electrical transients, which are brief but intense surges of voltage that can damage or even destroy electronics. As its name suggests, a TVS diode is designed to clamp down on and limit these errant electrical transients.

TVS diodes have a wide variety of applications, from automotive electronics to industrial equipment, to consumer electronics. Because of their wide range of uses, a variety of TVS diode designs have been developed to meet the different requirements of different applications. SMDJ28AHR7G is one such TVS diode that is designed for automotive electronics.

The SMDJ28AHR7G diode is a unidirectional diode with a breakdown voltage of 28 V. This means that the diode will conduct current in one direction until the voltage across it reaches 28 V, at which point it will begin to conduct in the reverse direction. This reverse conduction is what limits and clamps down on the voltage transients, thus preventing damage to the connected components. The diode has a maximum surge rating of 14.7 a, which means that current can be allowed to surge up to 14.7 a before the diode begins to clamp down, preventing larger surges from harming the circuit.

The SMDJ28AHR7G diode also features a low capacitance and low clamping voltage, which makes it suitable for use in environments with high frequency transients, like automotive electronics. The low capacitance of the diode ensures minimal distortion to the signal while the low clamping voltage prevents any damage to the components.

In addition to the SMDJ28AHR7G, there are a variety of other TVS diodes available, each designed for a specific application. In some cases, multiple TVS diodes may be used together to provide even better protection against electrical transients.
