Taiwan Semiconductor 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode, 600W, 2-Pin DO-214 SMBJ16CA

Taiwan Semiconductor SMBJ16CA is a high-performance 1-element bi-directional transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode suitable for protecting sensitive electronic circuits from voltage spikes and surges. It delivers 600W peak pulse power dissipation and features a 2-pin DO-214 surface mount package, making it an excellent choice for compact PCB designs in industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics applications.

The diode offers a minimum breakdown voltage of 17.8V and a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 16V, providing reliable voltage clamping and safeguarding against transient events. The bidirectional design efficiently clamps voltage surges in both polarities, protecting against alternating transient voltages.

With a peak pulse current of 23.1A and fast response times ensured by its glass-passivated junction, this TVS diode exhibits low incremental surge resistance, enhancing overall circuit protection. Its temperature operating range from -55°C to 150°C suits a variety of demanding environments, including industrial and automotive settings.

The compact and surface mountable DO-214 package measures 4.75mm in length, 3.95mm in width, and 2.45mm in height, allowing its integration in space-constrained designs. It also carries FBI standards approval, attesting to quality and reliability.
