## **Description** 

The SMAJ Transil series has been designed to protect sensitive equipment against electrostatic discharges according to IEC 61000-4-2, and MIL STD 883, method 3015, and electrical over stress according to IEC 61000-4-4 and 5. These devices are generally used against surges below 400 W (10/1000 μ s). 

Planar technology makes these devices suitable for high-end equipment and SMPS where low leakage current and high junction temperature are required to provide reliability and stability over time. 

SMAJ are packaged in SMA (SMA footprint in accordance with IPC 7531 standard).

1. Pulse test : t < 50 ms p 

2. To calculate maximum clamping voltage at other surge level,use the following formula: VCLmax = VCL - RD x (IPP - IPPappli) where IPPappli is the surge current in the application 

3. To calculate VBR  or VCL versus junction temperature, use the following formulas: VBR @ TJ = VBR @ 25°C x (1 + αT x (TJ – 25)), VCL @ TJ = VCL @ 25°C x (1 + αT x (TJ – 25)) 

4. Surge capability given for both directions for unidirectional and bidirectional types.
