SMCJ12A is a surface mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for surge and ESD protection applications. It features a peak pulse power dissipation of 1500 watts at 1 ms pulse width and a working peak reverse voltage of 12 V. The device operates over a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and is housed in a compact DO-214AB (SMC) package. With a typical fast response time of less than 1.0 ns for unidirectional devices, it provides effective protection for portable communications, computing, and video equipment. The SMCJ12A is lead-free and RoHS compliant, conforming to JEDEC standards.
