SZP6SMB36AT3G

The SZP6SMB36AT3G is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode.

TVS diodes are designed to protect electronic equipment from voltage spikes, in particular electrostatic discharges. These spikes can damage components and cause system disruption. TVS diodes act like a shunt in the electrical circuit, providing a low resistance path with minimal capacitance.

The SZP6SMB36AT3G is designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes up to 36.0 volts peak with a response time of 5 ns maximum. It has an operating temperature range of -55°C to + 125°C and a storage temperature range from -65°C to + 150°C. It is designed to handle high-temperature, high-voltage situations and is also RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) compliant.

The SZP6SMB36AT3G is a unidirectional TVS diode with a 6-pin SMA package. It features reverse stand-off voltage of 6.0V, forward clamp voltage of 11.3V and a maximum clamping current of 150A peak pulse. It also has low capacitance of 4.8 pF between the anode and cathode.

The typical application of the SZP6SMB36AT3G includes telecommunications, computer and peripheral, consumer electronics, automotive, power supplies and IOT applications. Its ESD protection is used to guard against damage to components from electrostatic discharge.

In terms of its working principle, the SZP6SMB36AT3G works by offering a low-resistance path for voltage spikes. When a voltage spike occurs, the SZP6SMB36AT3G acts like a shunt in the electrical circuit and gets activated, creating an alternative low-resistance path for the electrons to follow. This reduces the amount of time the electrons spend travelling downstream, ensuring the components do not suffer any lasting damage.

The SZP6SMB36AT3G is a reliable and versatile device for protecting sensitive equipment from transient voltage surges. With its low capacitance and low-resistance path, it is capable of handling high-voltage and high-temperature situations to protect against electrical short circuits, electrostatic discharge and other forms of voltage spikes.
