This SMBJ5.0-170A series of surface mount 600 W Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVSs) protects a variety of voltage-sensitive components from destruction or degradation. It is available in J-bend design (SMBJ) with the DO-214AA package for greater PC board mounting density or in a Gull-wing design (SMBG) in the DO-215AA for visible solder connections. It is also available in both unidirectional and bidirectional configurations with a C or CA suffix part number as well as RoHS Compliant with an e3 suffix. Their response time is virtually instantaneous. As a result, they can be used for protection from ESD or EFT per IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4, or for inductive switching environments and induced RF protection. They can also protect from secondary lightning effects per IEC61000-4-5 and class levels defined herein. Microchip also offers numerous other TVS products to meet higher and lower power demands and special applications.
