This document describes the characteristics of the TM series, including reverse breakdown voltage, maximum peak pulse current, etc. The products are highly reliable and stable.
The document describes the 3SMC5.0CA through 3SMC170CA series of Surface Mount Bi-Directional Glass Passivated Junction Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS). These devices are designed to protect voltage-sensitive components from high voltage transients and feature a glass passivated chip for optimum reliability.
The datasheet provides maximum ratings, including a peak power dissipation of 3000 W and operating temperatures from -65°C to +150°C. It also lists detailed electrical characteristics such as breakdown reverse voltage, stand-off voltage, clamping voltage, and leakage current for various models ranging from 5.0V to 170V.
| Peak Power Dissipation | 3000 W |
|---|---|
| Peak Forward Surge Current | 200 A |
| Operating and Storage Junction Temperature Range | -65 to +150 °C |
| Package Type | Surface Mount Bi-Directional Glass Passivated Junction |
They are designed to protect voltage sensitive components from high voltage transients.
These specific models (3SMC...CA) are bi-directional; for uni-directional devices, refer to the 3SMC5.0A Series data sheet.
