SMBJ16CA 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 16 V, a breakdown voltage range of 17.8 V to 19.7 V, and a maximum reverse voltage of 10 V at 10 mA. The device offers fast response times of less than 5.0 picoseconds and is housed in the DO-214AA (SMB) package format. With a maximum peak current of 23.1 A and maximum clamping current of 33.8 A, the SMBJ16CA provides robust protection for 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.
