Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes, also known as TransZorbs or Tidas, provide protection against damaging voltage transients on electronics. SMF8V0A-HE3-18 is a pulse protection diode from STMicroelectronics that features a high power rating of 8.0A and an operating voltage up to 18V. It has an extremely fast response time of less than a nanosecond, making it ideal for protecting sensitive electronic components against over-voltage, over-current, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.

Applications for SMF8V0A-HE3-18 include, but are not limited to, telecom equipment, routers and other switchgear, industrial controllers, computers, and server applications. Additionally, this device can be used to provide protection against both line-to-ground and line-to-line transients.

SMF8V0A-HE3-18 operates by clamping voltage transients to a safe level before they can damage equipment. Its fast response time allows it to respond quickly to changes in the waveform, providing protection against both over-voltage and over-current. The device works by using a reverse-biased P-N junction to divert excess current away from the protected component. The result is that transient voltages and currents are limited to safe levels, preventing electrical damage.

The SMF8V0A-HE3-18 is a compact yet rugged device, measuring just 2.5 x 2.5mm and exhibiting a high power handling capability of up to 1.25kW. It is RoHS compliant and UL recognized, and its high surge capability makes it suitable for applications with challenging surge requirements. Additionally, the device has a low capacitance of 5pF, minimizing interference with signal transmission.

In summary, SMF8V0A-HE3-18 is an excellent choice for superior transient voltage protection. Its fast response time and high power handling capability make it an ideal choice for protecting sensitive equipment against damaging voltage transients. It is an easy to mount, compact, and reliable TVS diode for a wide range of telecom, industrial, computer, and server applications.
