SMDJ7.0CA-HRA

The SMDJ7.0CA-HRA is a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode. It is a two-terminal device primarily designed to protect vulnerable electronics from damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD). It can also protect against power surges, lightning strikes and other transients. TVS diodes have been extensively used for the protection of voltage sensitive components from damage due to overvoltage and transient voltages.

The SMDJ7.0CA-HRA is a reverse engineered glass-passivated junction diode. It is available in a DO-217AA package, which meets applicable safety agency specifications. It has an operating temperature range from -65 to +150°C, a low operating voltage of 7.0V and has a surge peak pulse power rating of 1,000W. When exposed to ESD pulses between 25 to 500V, the SMDJ7.0CA-HRA can provide a safe current path to ground.

The SMDJ7.0CA-HRA is primarily used to protect peripheral circuitry from transients and ESD. It works by providing a low on-state resistance current path to ground when a transient voltage above its reverse breakdown voltage (VRRM) is encountered. This reduces the voltage spike to a safe level, thus protecting the device from destruction. It also works as a clamping device to limit the maximum voltage and current that can occur in the circuit, thus avoiding damage to the other components.

The SMDJ7.0CA-HRA is capable of handling larger spike currents than the regular standard diode. It has a fast response time of less than 1 µs and offers high levels of ESD protection (up to ±30kV) and surge protection (up to 130A). The SMDJ7.0CA-HRA is also designed to withstand high temperature extremes and can handle power frequencies up to 100MHz. In addition, it features a low voltage dropout, with a breakdown voltage range of 5 to 8V.

Overall, the SMDJ7.0CA-HRA is a reliable and efficient TVS diode that provides effective and safe protection in a variety of applications, including peripheral devices, automotive and industrial equipment, consumer electronics, and communication equipment. It is designed to protect devices from malfunction or destruction due to transients and ESD events, while ensuring that their operational performance remains unaffected. Thus, this TVS diode can be a great choice to protect sensitive electronic components and equipment from damage caused by overvoltage and transient voltages.
