SMBJ78CA-13-F

Diodes Incorporated · TVS · SMB

SMBJ78CA-13-F from Diodes Incorporated, in a SMB. 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 (C suffix) terminal with no polarity indicator; the SMBJ78CA is symmetric, with 78V reverse standoff voltage, 86.7V to 99.7V breakdown at 10mA... see review note.
2 A2 passive Second terminal of the bi-directional device; either terminal can be connected to the positive side, with 78V standoff voltage and 126V maximum clamping at 4.7A peak pulse current.
