Bourns, Inc. TVS Diodes SMBJ14A

The Bourns SMBJ series diode, specifically part number 67R0146, is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for surge and ESD protection applications. It features a reverse standoff voltage of 14V and a maximum clamping voltage of 23.2V. The diode is housed in a compact DO-214AA (SMB) package, which is compliant with JEDEC standards, facilitating easy handling with standard pick and place equipment. This diode has a minimum breakdown voltage of 15.6V and can dissipate a minimum peak pulse power of 600 watts for a 1 ms pulse duration. It can handle a peak forward surge current of 100 amps and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. The SMBJ series diodes are RoHS compliant and available in tape and reel packaging, making them suitable for automated assembly processes. Engineers considering this diode should evaluate its specifications against their project requirements for effective transient voltage suppression.
