Littelfuse 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode 5 kW 2-Pin DO-214 5.0SMDJ36CA

Littelfuse 5.0SMDJ36CA is a high-performance 1-element bi-directional TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode rated for 5 kW peak pulse power and housed in a DO-214 surface mount package. This device is engineered to provide robust protection against voltage transients and surges caused by lightning strikes and other transient voltage events in sensitive electronic equipment.

The low-profile surface mount package reduces board space requirements while offering excellent mechanical reliability through a built-in strain relief design. With a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 36 V and a minimum breakdown voltage of 40 V, the diode effectively clamps voltage spikes at a clamping voltage of 58.1 V to safeguard circuit components.

Its fast response time of less than 1.0 picosecond ensures swift action upon transient events, while the maximum peak pulse current of 86.1 A confirms robust surge handling capability. The component maintains electrical integrity across a wide operating temperature range, from -65°C up to 150°C, enabling reliable use in demanding industrial, telecommunications, and consumer electronics applications.

Features such as halogen-free composition, matte tin lead-free plating, and high temperature soldering tolerance (260°C for 40 seconds) enhance environmental and service durability. The glass passivated chip junction supports long-term stability and low incremental surge resistance. The typical maximum temperature coefficient for breakdown voltage is very low, providing reliable voltage protection across temperature variations.

Its compact physical dimensions of 7.11 mm length, 6.22 mm width, and 2.41 mm height make it ideal for densely packed printed circuit boards where space conservation is critical. The built-in electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection further ensures sensitive semiconductors remain undamaged in high-static environments.

Bi-directional transient voltage suppression for flexible protection. High peak pulse power of 5 kW at 10x1000 µs waveform. Low-profile DO-214 surface mount package for space optimization. Operates within -65°C to 150°C temperature range for industrial use.

Fast response time below 1.0 picosecond to voltage spikes. Low maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA minimizes losses. Halogen-free and lead-free plated for environmental compliance. High temperature soldering rated to 260°C for 40 seconds.

Glass passivated chip junction ensures component longevity. Typical clamping voltage of 58.1 V protects downstream electronics effectively.

This Littelfuse TVS diode is well suited for applications in power supplies, telecommunications equipment, industrial controls, consumer electronics, and automotive electronics requiring robust transient voltage protection.
