SMDJ18A

Brightking Elec (TAIWAN) · TVS · SMC(DO-214AB)

SMDJ18A from Brightking Elec (TAIWAN), in a SMC(DO-214AB). 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 of the unidirectional TVS (marked by the color band), which is connected to the positive side of the circuit being protected; the SMDJ18A has VRWM 18.0V, VBR 20.00~22.10V at 1mA and VC 29.2V at 102.7A.
2 A passive Anode of the unidirectional TVS, which is connected to the return/ground side of the circuit; it conducts forward like a diode with IFSM 300A (8.3ms half sine-wave).
