SMAJ5.0 thru SMAJ170CA
SURFACE MOUNT 500 Watt
Transient Voltage Suppressor
SCOTTSDALE DIVISION
DESCRIPTION
This SMAJ5.0-170A series of surface mount 500 W Transient Voltage
Suppressors (TVSs) protects a variety of voltage-sensitive components from
destruction or degradation. The package outline is similar to the DO-214AB or
DO-214AC. It is also available in a unidirectional configuration or as bidirectional
with a C or CA suffix part number. 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. Microsemi also offers numerous other TVS
products to meet higher and lower power demands and special applications.
