Vishay 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode 400 W Surface Mount DO-214 Package SMAJ16CA-E3/61

Vishay SMAJ16CA-E3/61 is a 1-element bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from voltage transients and electrostatic discharge (ESD). The component provides a peak pulse power dissipation of 400 W, enabling it to clamp voltage surges rapidly and prevent damage to circuit components, making it highly suitable for industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics applications.

This diode is housed in a surface mount DO-214 package, allowing for efficient PCB space utilization in modern electronics manufacturing. It features a single diode configuration with a bi-directional direction type, enabling protection against both positive and negative voltage transients. The device provides a clamping voltage of 26 V and a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 16 V, providing precise electrical protection.

Designed to operate under a broad temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, it is ideal for demanding environments including automotive electronics compliant with the AEC-Q101 automotive standard. The compact form factor measures 4.5 mm in length, 2.79 mm in width, and a height of 2.087 mm, ensuring easy integration into PCB assemblies.

The maximum peak pulse current of 15.4 A and minimal reverse leakage current of 1 μA provide reliable transient suppression with low power loss. Enhanced ESD protection ensures circuit durability against static discharge events, improving overall device lifespan.

Vishay's TRANSZORB TVS diode series SMAJ16CA-E3/61 is suited for protection in power supplies, data lines, automotive electronics, and industrial controls where transient voltage spikes could cause critical damage. It enhances product reliability and robustness in these applications.
