The SMAJ17A is a robust Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode manufactured by JSCJ (JCET). Supreme Components International is an authorized distributor of JSCJ components. This unidirectional TVS diode is designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from voltage transients induced by lightning, inductive load switching, and electrostatic discharge (ESD). With a standoff voltage of 17V and a peak pulse current of 5.85A, the SMAJ17A effectively clamps overvoltage events, preventing damage to downstream components. Its SMA (DO-214AC) package allows for easy surface mounting. Typical applications include I/O protection, VCC bus protection, and protection of data lines. This diode offers fast response time, low clamping voltage, and high surge capability, ensuring reliable protection for your valuable electronics.
