SMLJ36A-TP

A Transient Voltage Suppressor diode, commonly known as a TVS diode, is an important element of electronics circuits used to control high voltage have tendency to damaging the system in which they are used. It is also known as Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS) and it performs the same function. TVS diodes are designed to protect the sensitive components of an electronic circuit against overvoltage due to a large surge or voltage spike, such as Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), Inductive Load Switching, Power Cross, and Lightning, among others.

SMLJ36A-TP is a special type of TVS-diode that provides electrostatic discharge protection in a wide variety of applications. The device is provided in a Surface Mount package and offers superior performance, high reliability and linear termination voltage derating over a temperature range. It provides peak pulse power capability from 5000 W (8/20µs) to 1250 W (2/10µs) for ESD immunity and is also compatible with standard reflow soldering processes.

Working Principle

The SMLJ36A-TP TVS diode works on the simple principle that when the input voltage reaches the breakdown level of the device, then the device starts to conduct. This conduction starts and the excess voltage dissipates as heat effectively dissipating the energy, thus protecting against the damaging effects of the electrical surge. The key parameters of this diode are its maximum breakdown voltage, ESD withstand voltage, and maximum leak current.

Application Field

The SMLJ36A-TP provides sufficient level of energy absorption and helps protect sensitive electronic components from transient voltage surges. Its superior performance makes it ideal for a wide variety of applications, such as automotive, consumer electronics, portable and industrial equipment. Due to its high speed and ESD immunity, it can provide a great solution for protection of data lines in data communication systems and communication equipments.

In addition, the wide range of breakdown voltages available in TVS diodes such as the SMLJ36A-TP makes them ideal for protection in power systems such AC power and DC power. These devices can provide high quality lightning protection as they absorb the energy from the lightning and dissipate it safely.

The SMLJ36A-TP diode is an effective solution for providing reliable protection against ESD and transient voltage surges. Its superior performance and compatibility with standard reflow process makes it an ideal solution for a wide range of industries. It is an excellent choice for protecting sensitive electronic components from the damaging effects of overvoltage.
