DESCRIPTION
This SMBJ5.0-170A or SMBG5.0-170A series of surface mount 600 W Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVSs) protects a variety of voltage-sensitive components from destruction or degradation. It is available in J-bend design (SMBJ) with the DO-214AA package for greater PC board mounting density or in a Gull-wing design (SMBG) in the DO-215AA for visible solder connections. It is also available in both unidirectional and bidirectional configurations with a C or CA suffix part number. Their response time is virtually instantaneous. As a result, they can be used for protection from ESD or EFT per IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4, or for inductive switching environments and induced RF protection. They can also protect from secondary lightning effects per IEC61000-4-5 and class levels defined herein. Microsemi also offers numerous other TVS products to meet higher and lower power demands and special applications

FEATURES
• Economical surface mount design in both J-bend or Gull-wing terminations
• Available in both unidirectional and bidirectional construction (add C or CA suffix for bidirectional)
• Selections for 5.0 to 170 volts standoff voltages (VWM)
• Suppresses transients up to 600 watts @ 10/1000 µs (see Figure 1)
• Fast response
• Options for screening in accordance with MIL-PRF-
   19500 for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS are
   available by adding MQ, MX, MV, or MSP prefixes
   respectively to part numbers.
