About this manual

The SMCJ series transient voltage suppressors from Fairchild Semiconductor provide glass‑passivated junctions with up to 1500 W peak pulse power, low incremental surge resistance and fast response times. They are offered in both unidirectional and bidirectional versions and are suitable for protecting circuits against high‑energy transients.

Key electrical ratings include a peak pulse power dissipation of 1500 W, storage temperature range from –55 °C to +150 °C, and a maximum reverse surge current of 200 A. The devices are supplied in the SMC/DO‑214AB (SMC) surface‑mount package with detailed dimensions and land‑pattern specifications provided.
