The SMLJ170CA is a bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for surge and ESD protection in a surface-mount SMC package. It features a working peak reverse voltage of 170V and a peak pulse power dissipation of 3000 watts. This 5% tolerance device has a minimum breakdown voltage of 189.0V and can clamp transients up to 275V at a peak surge current of 11.0A. With its fast response time, the SMLJ170CA is ideal for protecting sensitive electronics in applications such as portable communications, computing, and video equipment.
