STMicroelectronics 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode 600 W, 2-Pin DO-214 SM6T24CA

STMicroelectronics SM6T24CA is a 1-element, bi-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode engineered for protection against voltage spikes and surges on sensitive electronics. Rated for 600 W peak pulse power dissipation, it reliably clamps voltage transients to safe levels, preventing damage to circuits.

This diode features a surface mount DO-214 package with a compact footprint (4.6 mm length, 3.95 mm width, 2.45 mm height) making it suitable for dense PCB layouts. The device supports a clamping voltage of 42.8 V and has a minimum breakdown voltage of 22.8 V. Maximum reverse stand-off voltage is 20.5 V, allowing it to be applied to circuits up to this voltage under normal conditions.

With an operating temperature range from -55°C to 150°C, the SM6T24CA is appropriate for demanding environmental conditions including industrial, automotive electronics (though it does not claim automotive specific approvals), telecommunications, power supply protection, and general semiconductor protection in both commercial and manufacturing systems.

The device withstands peak pulse current up to 93 A and minimal leakage current (200 nA typical) ensuring low power consumption and protection effectiveness. It contains a single chip element optimized for transient voltage suppression.

Typical uses include protection of power and data lines in electronic equipment, safeguarding devices from ESD events, lightning transients, and inductive load switching surges. Bi-directional configuration provides symmetrical surge protection for AC and DC lines.

Single-element design ensures compact, cost-effective transient suppression. Surface mount DO-214 package facilitates automated insertion and space savings. High peak pulse power dissipation rating enhances resilience to transient faults.

Maintains electrical integrity over a wide temperature range. Standard pin count allows easy design integration. Ideal for protecting semiconductor devices, telecommunications equipment, and industrial electronics. Meets industry standards for transient suppression without specific automotive certification.

It provides reliable overvoltage protection to extend equipment life and reduce downtime. Explore EnvMart's extensive selection of semiconductor protection devices including TVS Diodes and discrete semiconductors for your electronic design requirements.
