The SMBJ6.5CA is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode designed for surge and ESD protection in compact surface-mount applications. It features a working peak reverse voltage of 6.5 V, with a breakdown voltage range of 6.67 to 7.37 V, and is housed in the DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package. The device delivers a maximum peak current of 58.3 A and a maximum clamping current of 13.4 A, with a typical response time of less than 5.0 picoseconds for bidirectional operation. The SMBJ6.5CA is RoHS compliant and rated for 600 watts power dissipation, making it ideal for protecting sensitive electronics in portable communications, computing, and video equipment against transient overvoltage events including IEC 61000-4-2 ESD, IEC 61000-4-4 EFT, and IEC 61000-4-5 surge conditions.
