SMCJ18CA-L

Shandong Jingdao Microelectronics · ESD And Surge Protection (TVS/ESD) · SMC

SMCJ18CA-L from Shandong Jingdao Microelectronics, in a SMC. 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 Cathode passive Cathode terminal per the PINNING table (unipolar symbol); the datasheet gives no polarity assignment for the bidirectional CA variant, and the part is rated for 600 W peak pulse power at 10/1000 µs with a reverse stand-off voltage of 18 V.
2 Anode passive Anode terminal per the PINNING table (unipolar symbol); the datasheet gives no polarity assignment for the bidirectional CA variant, and the part's operating junction and storage range is -55 to +150 °C.
