Vishay 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode 1.5 kW Surface Mount 2-Pin SMC SMCJ36CA-E3/57T

Vishay SMCJ36CA-E3/57T is a 1-element bi-directional TVS diode designed to provide transient voltage suppression in sensitive electronic circuits. With a peak pulse power dissipation of 1.5 kW, this device efficiently clamps voltage spikes that could otherwise damage electronic components. Its 2-pin SMC surface mount package offers compact size suitable for high density circuit board designs.

The diode operates with a minimum breakdown voltage of 40 V and a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 36 V, enabling it to tolerate common transient surges. Its clamping voltage at 58.1 V ensures effective protection without excessive voltage stress on connected circuits.

Designed for reliable operation across a wide temperature range from -55°C to 150°C, the diode performs well in demanding industrial and automotive environments. Compliance with the AEC-Q101 automotive standard further validates its suitability for automotive electronic systems where transient voltage suppression is critical.

This TVS diode incorporates single diode configuration in a bi-directional design, which allows it to block voltage spikes in both directions. It also includes Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection to safeguard sensitive semiconductors during handling and operation. Its compact dimensions of 7.11 mm length, 6.22 mm width, and 2.42 mm height make it easy to integrate into surface mount technology (SMT) assembly lines, enhancing manufacturing efficiency.

This device supports high surge current up to 25.8 A, making it suitable for protecting power and signal lines in industrial, automotive, and telecommunications equipment. Its robust transient voltage suppression enhances system reliability by reducing component failure rates due to electrical overstress.

Ideal for use in printed circuit boards requiring protection from lightning-induced surges and switching transients. The compact SMC package type suits automated PCB assembly and reflow soldering processes. Meets stringent quality and reliability standards necessary for critical electronics applications.

Vishay SMCJ36CA-E3/57T TVS diode is widely used in electronic devices to protect against voltage transients, ensuring durability and operational safety in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics.
