TVS, or transient voltage suppressors, are a type of diode designed to provide surge and overvoltage protection for equipment and components. The SMF26A is a type of axial-lead unidirectional TVS, designed to operate in surface-mount designs. This TVS diode can withstand reverse currents up to 100 mA. It has a wide operating temperature range of -55C to +125C and is classified as a “Low Capacitance” device.

Due to its small size, low capacitance, and wide temperature range, the SMF26A is ideal for use in high frequency and high-speed applications. It is commonly used in systems such as home electronics, automotive electronics, telecom, and industrial control systems. The SMF26Ais designed to protect devices from transient surges and can be used in all aspects of electrical protection, from primary lightning protection to secondary overvoltage protection. It can also be used for secondary protection of controlling devices.

The SMF26A is designed to protect against transient voltage peaks, or spikes, and its working principle is based on a simple concept. The diode works on the principle that if there is an initial rise in voltage beyond a set level, the diode begins to conduct. This action prevents damage due to overvoltage. When the voltage drops below a certain level, the diode stops conducting and the voltage returns to its normal state.

The SMF26A is designed to react to changes in voltage quickly and efficiently. It can operate in both positive and negative voltage polarity, meaning that it can protect against both positive and negative voltage peaks. The SMF26A can also be used in devices that support high peak current, up to 5A or more.

In order to operate as expected, the diode must be correctly connected and placed. This is because the diode is designed to operate at a set voltage level and must be connected in such a way that the device that it is protecting isn’t subjected to a higher voltage. The SMF26A requires a minimum lead length of 8mm and should be placed as close to the pin connection as possible.

The SMF26A is a popular choice for overvoltage protection due to its low capacitance and wide temperature range. It is small enough to be used in compact spaces, yet powerful enough to protect against high voltage surges. With its wide temperature range, it is able to continue functioning in extreme temperatures, making it suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor applications. Due to these features, the SMF26A is an excellent choice for TVS diode applications.
