SMDJ8.5A

TWGMC · ESD And Surge Protection (TVS/ESD) · DO-214AB(SMC)

SMDJ8.5A from TWGMC, in a DO-214AB(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 of the SMDJ8.5A unidirectional TVS diode, which is the PINNING table's pin 1; the device is rated for a reverse stand-off voltage of 8.5 V per the characteristics table.
2 Anode passive Anode terminal of the SMDJ8.5A unidirectional TVS diode, which is the PINNING table's pin 2 and the return path for transient clamping current.
