Littelfuse 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode, 3 kW, 24V, DO-214 Package SMDJ24CA

Littelfuse SMDJ24CA is a single-element bi-directional Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diode engineered for high-reliability protection of sensitive electronic equipment from unpredictable voltage transients. With its 3 kW peak pulse power capability and surface-mounted DO-214 package, it is ideal for modern circuit boards and applications requiring board space efficiency.

The SMDJ24CA features a bi-directional structure, enabling it to clamp against transients in both directions, making it indispensable in safeguarding devices from lightning or switching-induced surges. Its minimum breakdown voltage is 26.7 V, and the clamping voltage up to 38.9 V ensures precise protection levels for a range of electronic systems. The diode operates effectively in temperature extremes, from -65°C up to 150°C, and supports high temperature soldering at 260°C for 40 seconds, offering rugged reliability during PCB production.

Designed for low-profile surface mounting, this DO-214 package has a compact footprint with length 7.11 mm, width 6.22 mm, and height 2.41 mm, supporting demanding layouts and high-density designs. The fast response time - typically less than 1.0 ps - guarantees instant protection, while low leakage current (below 2 μA) minimizes system power loss.

Glass passivated chip junction and strain relief improve durability and operational stability. The SMDJ24CA meets halogen-free and matte tin lead-free plating requirements, aligning with leading environmental standards. Over-specified voltage or current failures result in a safe short circuit, supporting fail-safe operation.

Applications include protection of microcontrollers, communications devices, automotive electronics (non-automotive qualified), industrial instrumentation, and other sensitive semiconductors in harsh electrical environments. This diode is suitable for industries such as electronics manufacturing, repair, design labs, and commercial equipment assembly.

Its ESD protection rating, low incremental surge resistance, and excellent clamping capability make it a preferred choice for engineers and designers requiring reliable TVS diodes for modern electronic circuit protection.
