SMAJ16AHE3_A

Vishay Intertech · TVS · SMA(DO-214AC)

SMAJ16AHE3_A from Vishay Intertech, in a SMA(DO-214AC). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 K passive Cathode terminal, marked by the cathode band on uni-directional types such as the SMAJ16A (VWM 16 V, VBR 17.8 V to 19.7 V at 1.0 mA).
2 A passive Anode terminal at the end opposite the cathode band, and it is the second terminal of the 2-terminal SMA package.
