SMAJ40A, SMAJ40CA,
SMAJ43A, SMAJ43CA, The SMAJ series is designed to protect sensitive equipment against electrostatic
discharges according to IEC 61000-4-2 and MIL STD 883, method 3015, and
SMAJ48A, SMAJ48CA
electrical overstress according to IEC 61000-4-4 and 5. This device is more generally
SMAJ58A, SMAJ58CA, used against surges below 600 W (10/1000 μs).
SMAJ70A, SMAJ70CA, The Planar technology makes it compatible with high-end circuits where low leakage
SMAJ85A, SMAJ85CA, current and high junction temperature are required to provide long term reliability and
stability. SMAJ devices are packaged in SMA (SMA footprint in accordance with
SMAJ100A, SMAJ100CA,
IPC 7531 standard).

1. To calculate VBR versus Tj : VBR at Tj = VBR at 25 °C x (1 + αT x (Tj - 25))

2. To calculate VCL versus Tj : VCL at Tj = VCL at 25 °C x (1 + αT x (Tj - 25))
3. To calculate VCL max versus IPPappli: VCLmax = VCL - RD x (IPP - IPPappli) where IPPappli is the surge current in the
application.
