The 3.0SMI8.5CA is a high-power, surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by SMC DIODES. Supreme Components International is an authorised distributor of SMC DIODES components. This bidirectional TVS diode is designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients caused by lightning strikes, inductive load switching, and ESD events. With a peak pulse power dissipation of 3000W, the 3.0SMI8.5CA offers robust overvoltage protection. Its 8.5V breakdown voltage makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, industrial control systems, and consumer electronics. The surface mount package allows for easy integration into printed circuit boards, saving space and reducing assembly costs. This component provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for enhancing the surge immunity of electronic devices.
