The 3.0SMCJ8.5A-H is a high-performance, unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by FORMOSA MICROSEMI. Supreme Components International is an authorised distributor of FORMOSA MICROSEMI components. This TVS diode is designed to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage transients induced by lightning, inductive load switching, and electrostatic discharge (ESD). With a peak pulse power dissipation of 3000W, it effectively clamps transient voltages to safe levels, preventing damage to downstream circuitry. The 3.0SMCJ8.5A-H features a low clamping voltage and fast response time, ensuring reliable protection in demanding applications. It is commonly used in power supplies, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, and consumer electronics. This robust diode is available in the SMC package for easy surface mount assembly. Its unidirectional configuration simplifies circuit design and provides optimal protection against positive voltage transients.
