Fairchild Semiconductor SMCJ5V0(C)A - SMCJ170(C)A Transient Voltage Suppressors Datasheet
This document provides technical specifications for the SMCJ5V0(C)A through SMCJ170(C)A series of Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) from Fairchild Semiconductor. The devices are designed for bipolar applications and feature a glass passivated junction with a 1500 W peak pulse power capability on a 10/1000 µs waveform. They offer excellent clamping capability, low incremental surge resistance, and fast response times, typically less than 1.0 ps for unidirectional devices.
