SZ1SMA40CAT3G

Littelfuse · TVS · SMA

SZ1SMA40CAT3G from Littelfuse, in a SMA. 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, marked as pin 1 on the SMA part marking diagram; for uni-directional devices the color band denotes this cathode, and the datasheet specifies no polarity band for bi-directional devices.
2 Anode passive Anode terminal, marked as pin 2 on the SMA part marking diagram, with the uni-directional forward voltage limited to VF = 3.5 V max at IF = 30 A.
