The 5.0SMCJ16A-AQ is a high-performance unidirectional TVS diode manufactured by Diotec. Supreme Components International is an authorised distributor of Diotec components, ensuring you receive genuine and reliable parts. This diode is specifically designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients. With a standoff voltage of 16V and a peak pulse power rating of 1500W, it effectively clamps transient voltages to safe levels, preventing damage to downstream components. The 5.0SMCJ16A-AQ is housed in an SMC (DO-214AB) package, offering excellent power dissipation and thermal performance. Typical applications include I/O protection, VCC bus protection, and protection of data lines. Its fast response time and low clamping voltage make it an excellent choice for safeguarding sensitive circuits in industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics applications.
