Description
The 3.0SMC series is designed specifically to protect
sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients
induced by lightning and other transient voltage events.
Features
• For surface mounted
applications in order to
optimize board space
• Low prole package
• Typical failure mode is
short from over-specified
voltage or current
• Whisker test is conducted
based on JEDEC
JESD201A per its table 4a
and 4c
• IEC-61000-4-2 ESD
15kV(Air), 8kV (Contact)
• I
is specified @ 8/20µS
PP
surge waveform
• Built-in strain relief
•
VBR @TJ= VBR@25°C × (1+αT
x (TJ - 25))
(αT: Temperature Coefficient)
• Fast response time:
typically less than 1.0ps
from 0V to BV min
• Excellent clamping
capability
• Low incremental surge
resistance
• Typical I
less than 1µA
R
above 20V
• High temperature
soldering guaranteed:
260°C/40 seconds at
terminals
• Meet MSL level1, per
J-STD-020, LF maximum
peak of 260°C
• Matte tin lead–free plated
• Halogen free and RoHS
compliant
• Glass passivated chip
