Vishay Intertechnology has launched a new series of surface mount TRANSZORB bidirectional transient voltage suppressors (TVS) in the SMC package (DO-214AB) for automotive, industrial and telecommunications applications.
Offering a high surge capability of 3 kW at 10/1000 μs to meet ISO 16750-2 Pulse b specifications, the SMC3KxxxCAHM3_A series devices provide low leakage current of up to 1 μA from 22 to 120 V and high temperature operation of +175°C.
Suitable for high reliability applications, the new Vishay General Semiconductor TVS are AEC-Q101 qualified and offer extremely stable breakdown voltage of 11.1 to 133 V across the entire operating temperature range of -55° to +175° C. Designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning, the devices are intended for automotive load discharge protection and signal line protection in industrial and telecommunications systems.
The SMC3KxxxCAHM3_A series consists of 33 TVS part numbers with stand-off voltages from 10 to 120 V. The devices offer fast response times and low resistance to incremental surges, as well as excellent clamping capacity with a maximum clamping voltage of 17.0 at 193 V at 10/10. 1000 μs. The devices are RoHS compliant and halogen-free and offer a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 per J-STD-020, maximum LF peak of 260°C.
Samples and production quantities of the new SMC3KxxxCAHM3_A series are available now, with lead times of 12 weeks for large orders.
