SMBJ7.5CA-Q - Bourns

SMBJ7.5CA-Q Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended footprint and land pattern for SMBJ7.5CA-Q?
  The recommended footprint and land pattern for SMBJ7.5CA-Q can be found in the Bourns Application Note 134, 'Surface Mount Assembly Guidelines for Bourns® Chip Diodes and Chip Arrays'.
• How do I handle ESD protection for the SMBJ7.5CA-Q during manufacturing and assembly?
  Bourns recommends following the guidelines outlined in the ANSI/ESD S20.20 standard for ESD control during manufacturing and assembly. Additionally, the SMBJ7.5CA-Q is designed to withstand ESD events up to 30kV, but it's still important to handle the devices with care to prevent damage.
• Can I use the SMBJ7.5CA-Q in a high-reliability or aerospace application?
  While the SMBJ7.5CA-Q is a high-quality device, it is not specifically designed or qualified for high-reliability or aerospace applications. For such applications, Bourns recommends using their military-qualified or high-reliability TVS diode products, such as the SMF series.
• How do I determine the correct orientation of the SMBJ7.5CA-Q on the PCB?
  The SMBJ7.5CA-Q has a polarity marker on the device, which indicates the cathode (K) side. The cathode side should be connected to the more negative voltage potential in the circuit.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SMBJ7.5CA-Q?
  The SMBJ7.5CA-Q is rated for operation over a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, but the device's performance and reliability may degrade at extreme temperatures. It's recommended to operate the device within the specified temperature range for optimal performance.
