STMicroelectronics 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode 1.5 kW Peak Pulse Power 2-Pin DO-214 SMCJ5.0CA-TR

STMicroelectronics SMCJ5.0CA-TR is a 1-element bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes. This device features a peak pulse power dissipation of 1.5 kW and is housed in a compact, surface-mount DO-214 package with two pins, facilitating easy integration into printed circuit boards.

Featuring a minimum breakdown voltage of 6.4 volts and a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 5 volts, the diode is optimized for limiting voltage surges to safe levels. The clamping voltage of 13.4 volts ensures rapid response to transient events. Its maximum peak pulse current of 746 amperes enables it to handle high energy surges effectively, safeguarding downstream electronics.

The device operates reliably over an extended temperature range from -55°C to 150°C, making it suitable for use in demanding industrial, automotive, and consumer environments. With a maximum reverse leakage current of 500 microamperes and a compact profile (7.15 mm length, 6.25 mm width, and 2.45 mm height), it offers efficient protection without compromising board space.

This TVS diode is part of the SMCJxxCA series by STMicroelectronics, known for robust transient voltage suppression and consistent high performance. It enables the management of voltage transients arising from electrostatic discharge (ESD), inductive load switching, and lightning-induced surges. Its single element, bidirectional configuration allows it to clamp voltages in both polarities, which is important for AC line and data line protection.

Common applications include automotive electronics, industrial machinery control circuits, consumer electronics, and telecommunications equipment, where reliable surge protection is critical to device longevity and safety.

The package comes on a reel suitable for high-volume assembly processes, enhancing manufacturing efficiency. The device meets no specific automotive or safety standards but follows series consistency for semiconductor transient voltage suppressors.
