SMAJ16CAHE3_A/H Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Vishay SMAJ16CAHE3_A/H is a surface-mount bidirectional TransZorb® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for use in sensitive electronics protection. It is rated for a peak pulse power of 400W (10/1000 μs waveform) and a peak pulse current of 15.4A. The device offers a reverse standoff voltage of 16V and a clamping voltage of 26V, providing robust protection against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning.

 

This TVS diode is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive applications, making it suitable for use in automotive electronics. It features a glass passivated chip junction for reliability and fast response time. The device is RoHS3 compliant and meets MSL Level 1 for moisture sensitivity.

 

The SMAJ16CAHE3_A/H is housed in a compact DO-214AC (SMA) package with matte tin plated terminals, ideal for automated surface-mount assembly. It operates over a temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. The bidirectional polarity (CA suffix) allows protection in both directions, suitable for AC or bidirectional signal lines.

 

Typical applications include protection of ICs, MOSFETs, and sensor units in consumer, computer, industrial, automotive, and telecommunication systems against voltage transients.
