SMCJ10A, SMCJ10CA,
The TVS series are designed to protect sensitive equipment against electrostatic
SMCJ12A, SMCJ12CA,
SMCJ13A, SMCJ13CA, discharges according to IEC 61000-4-2, MIL STD 883 Method 3015, and electrical
SMCJ15A, SMCJ15CA, overstress such as IEC 61000-4-4 and 5. They are used for surges below 1500 W
SMCJ18A, SMCJ18CA, 10/1000 μs.
SMCJ20A, SMCJ20CA,
This planar technology makes it compatible with high-end equipment and SMPS
SMCJ22A, SMCJ22CA,
SMCJ24A, SMCJ24CA, where low leakage current and high junction temperature are required to provide
SMCJ26A, SMCJ26CA, reliability and stability over time.
