This device is more generally used against surges below 600 W (10/1000 μs). The Planar technology makes it suitable for high-end equipment and SMPS where low leakage current and high junction temperature are required to provide reliability and stability over time. The SM6T series are packaged in SMB. **DS0684** - **Rev 13** - **June 2021** For further information contact your local STMicroelectronics sales office. www.st.com **SM6T Characteristics** ## **1 Characteristics** **Table 1.
