The SMAJ8.5CA is a surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by SMC Diodes. As an authorized distributor, Supreme Components International offers this high-quality component. This bidirectional TVS diode is designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from voltage transients induced by lightning, inductive load switching, and electrostatic discharge (ESD). It features a standoff voltage of 8.5V and a peak pulse power dissipation of 400W. The SMAJ8.5CA is housed in a compact SMA package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications. Its fast response time and low clamping voltage ensure effective protection for downstream components. Typical applications include I/O protection, VCC bus protection, and protection of data lines.
