VISHAY SMBJ5.0A TVS Diode, Unidirectional, 5V, 9.2V, DO-214AA (SMB)

The VISHAY SMBJ5.0A-E3/52 TransZorb® is a high-performance surface mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode engineered for robust circuit protection. It features a glass passivated chip junction and a flame-retardant moulding compound case rated UL94V-0, ensuring both reliability and safety in demanding environments. With matte tin-plated leads, it is designed for excellent solderability and is ideal for automated placement processes.

This unidirectional TVS diode offers a formidable 600W peak pulse power dissipation capability, tested with a 10/1000μs waveform, making it highly effective at absorbing and clamping transient voltage spikes. Its key electrical characteristics include a reverse standoff voltage of 5V and a maximum clamping voltage of 9.2V, providing a reliable safety margin for sensitive components. The device boasts a very fast response time and low incremental surge resistance, ensuring immediate action against overvoltage events.

Designed for long-term reliability, it meets Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (MSL-1) per J-STD-020 and can withstand a lead-free soldering peak temperature of 260°C. Its compact DO-214AA (SMB) case style allows for efficient use of board space without compromising on protection performance. This diode is a critical component for safeguarding electronic circuits from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other transient threats.
