The SMCJ16CA with 26V 17.8V 16V DO-214AB TVS ROHS manufactured by Me-TECH is an unidirectional transient voltage suppressor, commonly known as TVS diode. It is designed to protect sensitive electronics from voltage surges, inductive transients, and electrostatic discharges. This particular model provides a breakdown voltage of 26V, clamping voltage of 17.8V, and a maximum steady state operating voltage of 16V. It is packaged in the popular DO-214AB surface mount package for PCB mounting and is ROHS compliant. This component is ideal for use in protecting DC power lines, data lines, and other electronic circuits.
