The SMCJ5.0CA Transient Voltage Suppressor with SMC (DO-214AB) made by Shikues is a RoHS compliant unidirectional device optimized for use in applications that require transient overvoltage protection. It is particularly suited for protecting sensitive electronic components from voltage transients induced by lightning, high-energy pulses, circuit switching, and other transient power events. Its RoHS compliance makes this component safe for use in green designs that restrict the use of hazardous substances in their products. The SMCJ5.0CA has a breakdown voltage of 5.0V (maximum of 6.3V) and a clamping voltage of 8.5V (maximum of 11.1V), making it suitable for applications with a maximum supply voltage of 24V. It also offers excellent clamping performance, surge capability, fast response, and low leakage current.
