SMAJ18A-13-F
Diodes Incorporated · TVS · SMA
SMAJ18A-13-F from Diodes Incorporated, in a SMA. 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 the unidirectional SMAJ18A, which has 18 V reverse standoff voltage, 20.0 V to 22.1 V breakdown at 1.0 mA and 29.2 V maximum clamping at 13.7 A. |
| 2 | A | passive | Anode terminal, the end without the cathode band, which conducts forward with a maximum VF of 3.5 V at 35 A and is the return side for the 400 W peak pulse rating. |
