Product Usage Instructions
The SMCJ5.0A thru SMCJ188CA diodes are designed for use in sensitive electronics to protect against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lighting on ICs, MOSFETs, signal lines of sensor units, and more. Follow the instructions below to use the product effectively:
- Select the appropriate diode based on the desired breakdown voltage (VBR) range.
- Ensure correct polarity placement: For unidirectional types, the band denotes the cathode end. There is no marking on bidirectional types.
- Solder the diode using matte tin plated leads, following J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 standards.
- Ensure proper temperature management within the operating junction and storage temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.
Please refer to the product manual or contact Vishay General Semiconductor for any technical questions or clarifications.
