The company says designed with high performance energy absorption and clamping capabilities that provide effective Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection for sensitive electronics, this new series is available in compact DO-214AB packaging with unidirectional and bi-directional options. The capabilities and packaging offered make these TVS Diodes superior surge protection solutions for portable communications, computing and video equipment applications.

The Bourns SMLJ-R Series TVS Diodes provide additional design flexibility with a choice of working peak reverse voltage from 12 V to 30 V and a power dissipation of 3000 watts. Designers can also select from 13 unidirectional part numbers and eight part numbers with bi-directional structures. The series has also been tested to comply with IEC 61000-4-2 ESD (Min. Level 4), IEC 61000-4-4 EFT and IEC 61000-4-5 Surge standards.

Bourns says its SMLJ-R Series TVS Diodes are available now through its authorised distribution partners and are RoHS* compliant.
