The 3SMC170A is a high-performance Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by CENTRAL SEMICONDUCTOR. This unidirectional surface mount device is designed to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage transients induced by lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and inductive load switching. With a peak pulse power dissipation of 3000W, the 3SMC170A effectively clamps transient voltages to safe levels, preventing damage to downstream circuitry. Its 170V standoff voltage makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. Supreme Components International is an authorised distributor of CENTRAL SEMICONDUCTOR components, ensuring you receive genuine and reliable products. This TVS diode is ideal for use in telecommunications equipment, industrial controls, medical devices, and other applications requiring robust overvoltage protection. The surface mount package allows for easy integration into automated assembly processes.
