The SMCJ18CA-A is a high-performance bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by SMC Diodes. This component is specifically engineered to protect sensitive electronic circuits from voltage transients caused by various sources, including lightning strikes, inductive load switching, and electrostatic discharge (ESD). With a breakdown voltage of 18V and a peak pulse power dissipation of 1500W, the SMCJ18CA-A provides robust overvoltage protection. Its bidirectional configuration allows it to protect circuits from both positive and negative voltage spikes. The SMCJ18CA-A is housed in a compact and surface-mountable SMC package, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of applications. Supreme Components International is an authorised distributor of SMC Diodes, ensuring you receive genuine and high-quality components.
