Compact TVS diodes from Littelfuse protect against voltage events

Littelfuse announced a new series of higher surge TVS Diode products in an DO-214AB package. The 8.0SMDJ series is optimized to protect sensitive electronic equipment from transient voltage induced by lightning and other voltage events. Because it combines up to 8000W of peak pulse power dissipation in a compact DO-214AB SMC package, the 8.0SMDJ series offers circuit designers a high-surge, space-saving circuit protection solution that can simplify printed circuit board design and improve reliability significantly.

Typical markets and applications for the 8.0SMDJ series TVS Diodes include:

Data Centers
Industrial
Home Appliances
Consumer Electronics
AC and DC Protection
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Protection
Low-speed Outdoor Port Protection

Key benefits:

High power protection from voltage transients and surge lightning events as well as excellent clamping performance for increased reliability of sensitive electronics.
High power density in compact, low profile DO-214AB package allows for quick and easy PCB layout and PCBA assembly while conserving valuable board space.
Replaces AC side and DC side MOVs with a solution that provides better reliability, accurate clamping, and fast response time when compared to MOVs.

The 8.0SMDJ Series TVS Diodes are available in tape and reel format in quantities of 3,000. Sample requests may be placed through authorized Littelfuse distributors worldwide.
