SMAJ12A

Circuit Protection

TVS Diode400WSMA12V

The SMAJ12A is a 400W unidirectional TVS diode in an SMA package, ideal for protecting sensitive electronics from voltage transients.

Best for

  • I/O interface protection
  • AC/DC power supply surge protection
  • Signal line protection (RS232/RS485)

Avoid if

  • The application requires bidirectional protection (use SMAJ12CA instead)

Check before use

  • Verify the transient energy levels in your circuit do not exceed the 400W peak pulse power rating.
