SMAJ16A Alternative / Equivalent / Replacement - 400W TVS Diode 16V SMA | YINT

Are you searching for an SMAJ16A alternative, SMAJ16A equivalent, or SMAJ16A replacement? YINT Electronics offers a direct SMAJ16A substitute with identical specs to Littelfuse, Vishay, and ON Semiconductor parts for 12V and 15V DC rail protection.

1. Product Overview

The SMAJ16A is a 400W unidirectional TVS diode that protects 12V and 15V DC power rails from lightning, ESD, and inductive load switching transients. It has a stand-off voltage of 16V, breakdown range of 17.8V to 19.7V, and clamping voltage of 26.0V. The device responds in under 1ns and delivers 15.4A peak pulse current in the compact SMA DO-214AC package.

Engineers looking for an SMAJ16A replacement for Littelfuse, Vishay, ON Semiconductor, Diodes Incorporated, STMicroelectronics, Bourns, or Taiwan Semiconductor can confidently specify YINT's SMAJ16A. It operates from -55C to +150C and is suitable for automotive 12V systems, industrial 15V sensor supplies, and PoE powered device inputs.
