TPSMC16A

Surface Mount Automotive Transient Voltage Suppressors High Temperature Stability and High Reliability Conditions The TPSMC16A is a surface-mount bidirectional thyristor surge protector manufactured by Vishay. Below are its specifications, descriptions, and features based on Ic-phoenix technical data files:  

### **Specifications:**  
- **Type:** Bidirectional Thyristor Surge Protector  
- **Voltage - Breakdown (Min):** 17.8V  
- **Voltage - Breakdown (Max):** 19.7V  
- **Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs):** 16.7A  
- **Power - Peak Pulse:** 300W  
- **Capacitance:** 100pF  
- **Operating Temperature:** -55°C to +150°C  
- **Package:** DO-214AA (SMB)  

### **Descriptions:**  
- Designed for overvoltage protection in electronic circuits.  
- Bidirectional operation allows it to protect against both positive and negative voltage transients.  
- Low clamping voltage ensures sensitive components are safeguarded.  

### **Features:**  
- **Fast Response Time:** Reacts quickly to transient voltage spikes.  
- **High Surge Current Capability:** Handles high-energy transients.  
- **Low Leakage Current:** Minimizes power loss during normal operation.  
- **RoHS Compliant:** Meets environmental standards.  

This information is strictly factual from the Vishay datasheet for the TPSMC16A.
