TVS DiodeBidirectional400WSMACircuit Protection

The SMAJ12CA is a 400W bidirectional TVS diode designed for transient voltage protection in surface-mount applications.

Best for

  • Signal line protection
  • General purpose voltage transient suppression

Avoid if

  • Applications requiring higher than 400W peak pulse power
  • Extreme high-temperature environments exceeding 150°C

Check before use

  • Clamping voltage at specific surge current levels
  • PCB layout for thermal dissipation
