Central 3SMC5.0CA THRU 3SMC170CA Data Sheet
The document describes the 3SMC Series Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS), which are designed to protect voltage-sensitive components from high voltage transients. These devices utilize a glass passivated chip construction for optimum reliability and feature a surface mount SMC case package.
Key specifications include a peak power dissipation of 3000 Watts and a peak forward surge current of 200 Amperes (JEDEC Method). The operating and storage junction temperature range is -65°C to +150°C. The datasheet provides detailed electrical characteristics, including breakdown reverse voltage, maximum stand-off reverse voltage, clamping voltage, leakage current, and peak pulse current for various models ranging from 3SMC5.0CA to 3SMC170CA.
