TVS - Diodes are important elements in the field of electrical engineering and their applications keep on increasing in this growing field. They are a vital part of circuit protection and to protect sensitive electronics and components from surge or lightning induced transient voltages, thus providing protection in many situations like over-voltage, high surge currents etc. SMLJ36CA-Q is one such example of a diode and is mainly used as a transient voltage suppressor. Its application range and working principle serves the purpose of protection from unilateral surges and transients.

SMLJ36CA-Q is mainly designed for AC/AC applications, making it suitable for a wide range of operating conditions in extremely harsh environments like automotive network systems, railway systems, avionics, or industrial communication networks. The bidirectional diode makes it ideal for AC/AC applications. It has a Breakdown Voltage specification ranging from 36V to 43.2V and 40V to 50V, with a maximum clamping voltage of 56.4V and 73V, respectively.

The working principle of the SMLJ36CA-Q diode is very simple. It is designed to clamp and limit the surge voltage that comes along with fast electrical transients. It utilizes the concept of Zener avalanche breakdown and the avalanche voltage is enough to withstand multiple pulses without any junction damage. When the voltage of a surge comes in the circuit, the diode is able to conduct a large amount of current and limit the voltage waveform to a safe level. Then, the current is dissipated across the diode until it is unable to withstand any more voltage.

Thus, the SMLJ36CA-Q diode is ideal for protection from overcurrent, ESD spikes, reverse EMF noise and lightning in AC/AC applications. It also provides transient voltage protection as it is bidirectional, making it suitable for a wide range of operating conditions in harsh environments. It is suitable for use in applications such as automotive network systems, railway systems, avionics, or industrial communication networks.

The SMLJ36CA-Q diode also offers superior reliability in the form of a high clamping voltage, excellent ESD performance, high temperature stability, and fast response time. Its construction is also designed for an extremely low leakage current and works perfectly with a wide range of AC and DC voltages. This ensures reliable operation in all kinds of applications.

In conclusion, the SMLJ36CA-Q diode is a reliable and robust device which finds wide applications in AC/AC applications. It provides high quality protection from surges and transients thereby ensuring circuit protection. It offers superior reliability, low leakage current, and superb ESD performance with a fast responding time. Its construction also ensures low thermal resistance and high temperature stability. Thus, SMLJ36CA-Q diode is an ideal choice for superior AC/AC application field protection.
