SMCJ12A-E3

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

SMCJ12A-E3 from Vishay Intertech, 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 terminal, the end marked with the cathode band on this uni-directional SMCJ12A (VWM 12 V, VBR 13.3 V to 14.7 V at 1.0 mA, VC 19.9 V at IPPM 75.4 A).
2 A passive Anode terminal, the unbanded end of the uni-directional SMCJ12A; the 1500 W (10/1000 µs) device is connected reverse-biased so the cathode sits at the more positive potential.

  • Symbol: SMCJ12A-E3
  • Footprint: Diode_SMD:D_SMC
  • 3D model: SMC(DO-214AB) (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: smcj12a-e3-etched.step / smcj12a-e3-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); smcj12a-e3.step / smcj12a-e3.glb are the bare package body.
