Description and Introduction

Surface mount transient voltage suppressor. 1500 watts peak power. Reverse stand-off voltage VRWM = 160 V. Test current IT = 1 mA. The SMCJ160CA is a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by CONCORD. Below are its specifications, descriptions, and features based on factual information:  

### **Specifications:**  
- **Voltage - Reverse Standoff (V_RWM):** 160V  
- **Voltage - Breakdown (V_BR):** 178V (min)  
- **Voltage - Clamping (V_C) @ I_PP:** 259V (max) at 10A  
- **Current - Peak Pulse (I_PP):** 10A (8/20µs waveform)  
- **Power - Peak Pulse (P_PP):** 1500W  
- **Operating Temperature Range:** -55°C to +150°C  
- **Package:** DO-214AB (SMC)  

### **Descriptions:**  
- The SMCJ160CA is a bidirectional TVS diode designed to protect sensitive electronics from voltage transients, including ESD, lightning, and inductive load switching.  
- It is compliant with automotive and industrial standards.  
- The bidirectional configuration clamps both positive and negative voltage spikes.  

### **Features:**  
- **High Surge Capability:** Handles high transient currents.  
- **Low Clamping Voltage:** Provides effective protection for sensitive circuits.  
- **Fast Response Time:** Reacts quickly to transient events (picosecond range).  
- **RoHS Compliant:** Meets environmental standards.  
- **Automotive Grade:** Suitable for harsh environments.  

This information is based on CONCORD's datasheet for the SMCJ160CA TVS diode.

Application Scenarios & Design Considerations

Surface mount transient voltage suppressor. 1500 watts peak power. Reverse stand-off voltage VRWM = 160 V. Test current IT = 1 mA.

Alternative Part Number

  • 1.5SMC160CA --: Same 1500W bidirectional TVS class with 160V standoff voltage, directly interchangeable in most clamping applications.
  • P6SMB160CA --: 600W bidirectional TVS with matching 160V standoff; lower power rating but suitable where surge energy is modest.
  • SMAJ160CA --: 400W bidirectional TVS in SMA package with 160V standoff, a compact lower-power fallback for space-constrained designs.
  • SMDJ160CA --: 3000W bidirectional TVS in SMC package with 160V standoff; higher surge rating provides margin while remaining footprint-compatible.
  • SMBJ160CA --: SMB-packaged bidirectional TVS with 160V standoff, drop-in footprint compatible when 600W surge capability is acceptable.
