This document describes the features and characteristics of the SM15T series TRANSZORB™ surface mount transient voltage suppressor, including surface mounted applications for optimizing board space, low profile package, built-in strain relief, glass passivated junction, low inductance, excellent clamping capability, etc.
This document provides technical specifications for the SM15T Series Transzorb Surface Mount Transient Voltage Suppressors manufactured by General Semiconductor. The series features a low-profile DO-214AB package designed for surface-mounted applications to optimize board space.
Key electrical characteristics include a peak pulse power dissipation of 1500 Watts and a typical response time of less than 25 nanoseconds. The datasheet details maximum ratings such as a junction temperature of 150°C and storage temperature range from -65°C to +175°C, along with specific electrical ratings for various breakdown voltages ranging from 6.8V to 220V.
| Package Type | DO-214AB (SMC) |
|---|---|
| Max. Junction Temperature | 150 °C |
| Storage Temperature Range | -65 to +175 °C |
The typical response time is less than 25 nanoseconds from 0 volts to VBR min.
In an overstress condition, the failure mode is a short circuit.
The pad dimensions should be 0.010" (0.25mm) longer than the contact size in the lead axis.
