The 5.0SMDJ18CA from Bourns Inc. is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for surge and ESD protection applications. It belongs to the 5.0SMDJ series and offers a working peak reverse voltage of 18 V, with a maximum clamping voltage of 29.2 V at a peak pulse current of 172 A (10/1000 µs waveform). The device is rated for a minimum peak pulse power of 5000 W, ensuring robust protection against transient overvoltage events.
Key electrical specifications include a peak forward surge current of 300 A (8.3 ms), a steady state power dissipation of 6.5 W at 50°C lead temperature, and a typical fast response time of less than 1 ps from 0 V to breakdown. The operating junction temperature range spans -55°C to +150°C, making it suitable for demanding environments.
The 5.0SMDJ18CA is commonly used in telecom equipment, and its bidirectional design allows it to protect both positive and negative voltage excursions. The device is housed in a surface-mount DO-214AB (SMC) package, which is compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly and offers a low-profile solution for space-constrained designs.
Environmental compliance includes RoHS3 certification, REACH unaffected status, and a California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive harm. The part is UL recognized under file E153537.
