SMAJ40CA-E3

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

SMAJ40CA-E3 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 A1 passive Bi-directional (CA) terminal with no polarity marking; electrical characteristics apply in both directions, with VWM 40 V and VBR 44.4 V to 49.1 V at 1.0 mA for SMAJ40A/CA.
2 A2 passive Second bi-directional (CA) terminal, interchangeable with the other; the SMAJ40CA is rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) and a maximum clamping voltage of 64.5 V at IPPM 6.2 A.
