Littelfuse 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode 5 kW, 2-Pin DO-214 Package 5.0SMDJ45CA

Littelfuse 5.0SMDJ45CA is a 1-element bi-directional transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode designed for protecting sensitive electronic components from voltage transients and surges. This diode is housed in a compact DO-214 surface mount package with 2 pins, making it ideal for applications where space optimization is critical.

It features a peak pulse power dissipation capability of 5 kW (10x1000µs waveform), ensuring robust protection against transient voltage spikes such as those caused by lightning strikes or switching events. The diode operates bi-directionally with a single element configuration, providing clamping voltage protection up to 72.7 V with a minimum breakdown voltage of 50 V and maximum reverse standoff voltage of 45 V.

Its fast response time, typically less than 1.0 picosecond from zero volts to breakdown voltage, allows rapid suppression of voltage surges to protect downstream circuits. The device supports a wide operating temperature range from -65°C to 150°C, with high temperature soldering guaranteed at 260°C for 40 seconds at the terminals.

Additional features include a built-in strain relief for mechanical robustness, matte tin lead-free plating for environmental compliance, and a glass passivated chip junction for high reliability. The diode is suitable for industrial, automotive, electronic and power applications where transient voltage suppression is critical.

Provides bi-directional transient voltage suppression with a single element. Surface mount DO-214 package saves board space. 5 kW peak pulse power dissipation supports high surge currents. Fast response time ensures excellent clamping performance.
