SMF7.5A

The SMF7.5A is a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect electronic circuits from voltage transients. It is manufactured by MSKSEMI and is commonly used in various applications to safeguard sensitive components from damage caused by transient voltage spikes.

Key Features:

• Transient Voltage Suppression: The primary function of the SMF7.5A diode is to suppress transient voltage spikes by diverting excess current away from sensitive components.

• Bidirectional Protection: It provides bidirectional protection, meaning it can protect against voltage spikes in both directions (positive and negative).

• Low Clamping Voltage: The diode has a low clamping voltage, ensuring that the voltage across the protected circuit does not exceed a safe level during a transient event.

• Fast Response Time: The SMF7.5A diode offers a fast response time, rapidly diverting excessive transient current to ground to prevent damage to connected components.

• High Surge Current Capability: It is capable of handling high surge currents, making it suitable for applications exposed to frequent voltage transients.

• Compact Package: The diode is typically available in a compact surface-mount package, allowing for easy integration onto circuit boards with minimal footprint.

• RoHS Compliance: Manufactured in compliance with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, ensuring environmental sustainability and compatibility with lead-free soldering processes.

Applications:

• Power Supply Protection: Used to protect power supplies, voltage regulators, and other sensitive components from voltage surges caused by lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD), or electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Communication Systems: Employed in communication systems, such as Ethernet ports, telephone lines, and data transmission circuits, to prevent damage from voltage transients.
• Automotive Electronics: Integrated into automotive electronics systems to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes generated by the vehicle's electrical system or external sources.
• Industrial Equipment: Used in industrial equipment and machinery to safeguard control circuits, sensors, and microcontrollers from transient voltage events.
• Consumer Electronics: Found in various consumer electronics devices, including TVs, computers, and smartphones, to protect internal circuits from voltage surges caused by lightning or power grid disturbances.
