The SMCJ51CA is a bidirectional, surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode packaged in a DO-214AB (SMC) package from Littelfuse. Its primary function is to protect sensitive electronic circuits by rapidly clamping and dissipating high-energy, short-duration voltage transients that can cause damage.
- Bidirectional Operation: Protects against both positive and negative voltage transients
- High Peak Pulse Power: 1500W for standard SMCJ series (3000W for 3.0SMCJ series)
- Fast Response Time: Typically less than 1.0 picosecond
- Excellent Clamping Capability: Limits voltage across protected circuits to safe levels
- Robust Construction: Glass passivated junction with stress relief, halogen-free and RoHS compliant

Ideal for protecting I/O interfaces, VCC buses, and other vulnerable circuits in:
- Telecommunications Equipment: Data lines and communication ports
- Computer and Networking Hardware: Servers, routers, switches
- Industrial Electronics: PLCs, sensors, control systems
- Consumer Electronics: Power supplies, audio/video inputs
- General Purpose Electronic Systems: Protection against ESD and surge events
