Use in sensitive electronics protection against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lighting on ICs, MOSFET, signal lines of sensor units for consumer, computer, industrial, automotive, and telecommunication. 

## **MECHANICAL DATA** 

**Case:** DO-214AB (SMCJ) 

Molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating Base P/N-E3 - RoHS compliant, commercial grade Base P/NHE3 - RoHS compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified 

**Terminals:** Matte tin plated leads, solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 

## **DEVICES FOR BI-DIRECTION APPLICATIONS** 

For bi-directional devices use CA suffix (e.g. SMCJ188CA). Electrical characteristics apply in both directions. 

E3  suffix meets JESD 201 class 2 whisker test, HE3 suffix meets JESD 201 class 2 whisker test 

**Polarity:** For uni-directional types the band denotes cathode end, no marking on bi-directional types
