The 1SMC8.0CA is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Central Semiconductor. Supreme Components International is an authorised distributor of Central Semiconductor components. This bidirectional TVS diode is designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from voltage transients induced by lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and inductive load switching. The 1SMC8.0CA features a breakdown voltage (Vbr) of 8V and a clamping voltage (Vc) of 15.6V. It is packaged in the SMC (Surface Mount Component) package, making it suitable for automated assembly processes. This diode provides robust and reliable overvoltage protection, enhancing the overall reliability and longevity of electronic devices. Applications include telecommunications equipment, industrial controls, and consumer electronics.
