The SMBJ6.0CA TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) is a 6.0-volt unidirectional Diode manufactured by Starsea, and is most commonly used in automotive electronic circuits for overvoltage and surge protection. It is encased in DO-214AA (or SMC package), typically uses silicon avalanche technology, and is rated up to 600 watts peak power dissipation. The SMBJ6.0CA is rated with a peak clamping voltage of -6.3 volts, a capable IEC 61000-4-2 flange strike level of 8A (8/20us), and can withstand a maximum transient energy of 17.7 Joules. This model is RoHS-compliant, and commonly used for a wide range of automotive sensor applications, including steering, braking, and climate control systems.
